Benefits of Choosing Our Visual Exercise System:

Exercise for those with autism not only helps increase their level of fitness; research shows that it is a building block to improve focus, maladaptive behaviors, social skills, and language development, as well as confidence and self-esteem. Using over 300 color-coded visuals, the VES empowers teachers, therapists, and paraprofessionals to empower diverse learners to build healthy and active lives.

This program is ready-to-use, saving professionals hours of labor; teachers can now put their expertise and attention into providing high-quality instruction, empowering students to learn, and engaging in physical activity. Additional benefits include:

• Ready-to-Use System Manual – No assembly, no setup. Everything is premade
• Large and Small Visuals – Research shows that visual supports encourage social interaction, increase on-task behavior, and can increase the demonstration of play skills
• Color-Coded System – Color keeps you organized and better engages your students

Visual Exercise System Packs feature color-coordinated small (2” x 2”) and large (8-1/2” x 11”) visuals with matching images that look like real people doing real exercises to give students a better understanding of the activities. Small size visuals have Velcro on the back for use in exercise schedule, first-then boards, and countdown boards. Large visuals can be used for the entire class to reference. Visuals and boards provide structure, communicate expectations, and signify time passing. Exercise stories/worksheets help reinforce lessons. Manuals are used for easy implementation for your class.
