The brain of a child with autism – what a puzzle it is! Teachers are constantly searching for better strategies and teaching methods to help students on the spectrum successfully navigate this typical world. Visual schedules are an excellent teaching tool, and their use enables students to form the missing link in processing spoken language. When working with students with autism, it is important to remember this one word: visual. Albert Einstein once said, "If I can't picture it, I can't understand it." Dr. Temple Grandin, an autism self-advocate and famous animal scientist, describes how important visual thinking is to someone with autism:

Words are like a second language to me. I translate both spoken and written words into full-color movies, complete with sound, which run like a VCR tape in my head. When somebody speaks to me, his words are instantly translated into pictures. – Temple Grandin, Thinking in Pictures (2006 Kindle Edition)

Teachers love to talk. It's part of who they are. However, as difficult as it is, teachers of students with autism must learn to "tone down the talk" and use visuals in its place. Spoken words can eventually be added as a student progresses, but until that time, most students will hear the proverbial Charlie Brown teacher saying "Waaa waa wa waa" as spoken instruction goes in one ear and out the other.
