Visual strategies can give your non verbal students choices of the activities that are available in your classroom. Being able to have a choice and ask for what is wanted often reduces frustrated behavior throughout the day.
This is why I always keep a selection of visual choices handy in my calm down area, ready for when problems arise! Struggling students are able to find the visual displayed on a board that will help them reduce these emotions to carry on learning.
I display only the visuals that are available to the students on given days and a wider choice throughout the week.
