Although the use of visual media has been shown to be effective for communicating with persons who have disabilities for some time, their use with persons who have autism has become very popular recently. This web site will help you to become more familiar with the uses and benefits of visual supports

About Mrs. Riley
Mrs. Riley was created so professionals, teachers, and parents could collaboratively make educational materials, starting with picture cards. If you've ever made a picture card with a custom image yourself, you know that it can be tedious. We understand and after going through it ourselves for so long, we decided to wrap the entire process into a single online application.

Hello Friends of Kids with AS
I am a mother of two. My oldest, 6 year old boy has been recently diagnosed with Aspergers. He is in public school. Homework is quite a chore, as you can imagine. We really need help all areas of homework but especially with story telling. I can't figure out a way for him to express himself with out giving him the ideas, and putting them in sentence form. Please help! I can be contacted at lsharpless@ci.charlotte.nc.us
Thank You :) !!!

He can express himself with the pictures. Find the "I want..." and "I like..." cards and he can use a picture to complete the sentence. Then he can write the sentences on his paper. This will help him with his topic and what he expresses you can record it and have him write or type what he said at his own pace. This way he can stop, write, and rewind. Ta-da! There is his story. With the tape recorder he can even take a break and come back without forgetting where he left off. The teacher may even want to incorporate this in class.
