Developing work systems and stations

​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.
