Visual supports and ADHD
Many children with ADHD start more easily when the next step is visible. Visual support is help for ordinary days, not a treatment.
Why the next step needs to stay visible
A spoken instruction often disappears in the room. A picture that stays put shows what to do, even when attention jumps.
How to try it
Start with a short routine, such as morning or bedtime. Keep the list short. Point to the picture and wait a moment before you say more.
This is not care
Visual support does not replace assessment, medicine or advice from a clinician. It is a way to make the day clearer at home.
