In this special course, we will discuss visual supports that are critical to maximized learning. We will review the basic elements of strong and effective visual supports, and in small groups, practice manipulating a variety of materials. Before we look at media, we will discuss our students and review a framework that allows us to group them based on language skills, perspective-taking ability, and the understanding of emotions. We will talk about strategies for grouping students so that everyone gives to and gets from all members. Our exploration of media will begin with using YouTube videos to build social, emotional learning (SEL) by expanding emotional vocabulary, understanding changes in emotions, and building students’ ability to reflect on their own emotional experiences. Most students with social learning challenges need to become more comfortable with their uncomfortable feelings. We will focus on specific activities addressing relationships, including: (1) cooperation and flexibility, (2) “jerky,” annoying and overly-competitive behavior, and (3) restoring relationships and dealing with misunderstandings
