Visual Supports for Shoebox Work Tasks

Loudoun County Public Schools Assistive Technology Team

6/09

About These Photos…The photos in this slide show were taken with a digital

camera to provide visual communication supports for students to use with shoebox work tasks:

• A photo card of the completed task can be placed on the student’s visual schedule to identify which task(s) to do.

• A photo card of the completed task can be placed on the front of the shoebox to identify the task (matching the photo on their schedule).

• A task sequence card with a series of photos can be placed inside the shoebox to depict the sequence of the task from start to finish.
