Lesson Plan
Picture Talk Practice
Enable Pre-K students with autism to use picture cards to request preferred items and correctly label objects, aiming for independent two-step communication in 3 out of 5 trials.
Many learners with autism need visual supports to communicate. This focused session builds foundational requesting and labeling skills, increasing functional independence, reducing frustration, and fostering confidence.
