Visual learning and autism spectrum disorder



Visual learning and autism spectrum disorder

Visual thinking can be a strength for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
These good visual skills might be because children with ASD tend to focus on details, rather than the whole – for example, specific details in a picture, rather than the whole picture.
Also, children with ASD can be visual learners. This might be because visual information lasts longer and is more concrete than spoken and heard information. This might help children with ASD – who often need longer than typically developing children – to process information and choose what they’re going to say.
