​Work systems and workstations are beneficial for students with ASD as they:
provide visual structure clarifying how to approach a task
are a sequential list of steps to follow to complete a task
have a clearly defined beginning and end which indicate what is required, how much is required and for how long
clarify many of the 'unwritten rules' of group learning, such as how to wait and whose turn it is
promote independence by providing information in a format (visual and physical) that is easily accessible by the student and unchanging
are self-contained as the student is able to see what is required simply by viewing the materials presented
limit the need for verbal instructions that can be difficult for students to consistently comprehend and apply.
