Thursday, July 23, 2009
Mega Center (Pheasant Run Resort and Conference Center)
Visual schedules are often used to support classroom participation and function within a variety of school settings. To determine the effectiveness of visual schedules in the classroom setting, current research was reviewed. Evidence suggested that visual schedules were effective in increasing on-task behaviors and decreasing off-task behaviors. Additional research is suggested to investigate long term effects, the impact of prompting, and the impact of cognitive ability with visual schedule use. This poster presents critical analysis of reviewed evidence.
