Visual Language
Through collaboration with Dr. Howard Shane and colleagues at Boston Children’s Hospital, Monarch Teaching Technologies has designed VizZle around three highly effective visual language programming modalities. These include:
- Visual Instruction Mode (VIM)
- Visual Organizational Mode (VOM)
- Visual Expression Mode (VEM)
Visual Instructional Mode (VIM)
Visual cues used for the purpose of comprehension, which are imposed as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, speech. Examples of these types of materials include: word wheels, flashcards, written directions, visual stories, or any visual to aid in comprehension of concept or content.Visual Organizational Mode (VOM)
Visual cues used to represent the organization of an activity, routine, script, or schedule. Examples of these types of materials include: schedules, timers, token boards, first-then boards, and lists.Visual Expression Mode (VEM)
Visual cues used for the purpose of expressive communication. Examples of these types of materials include: topic boards, AAC devices, PECS, and scene displays.
