Visual aids, also known as visual supports or assistive visuals, are tools designed to enhance understanding and communication for individuals with visual processing challenges or learning differences. These accommodations include items such as charts, diagrams, graphic organizers, and color-coded materials that help clarify information and improve focus. Visual aids are especially helpful for people with conditions like dyslexia, ADHD, or low vision, allowing them to better interpret and retain information. By incorporating clear and accessible visuals, workplaces can foster a more inclusive environment that supports diverse learning styles and communication needs.
Start by selecting clear, simple visuals that directly relate to the content being presented. Use high-contrast colors and large fonts to improve readability. Introduce visual aids alongside verbal explanations to support multiple learning styles. Regularly update and organize materials to keep them relevant and easy to access. Encourage feedback from users to tailor visuals to their needs, and store digital versions for remote or hybrid work settings.
