Visual Supports Desk Strips

A trauma‑informed, neurodivergent‑affirming visual tool designed to help learners stay organized, regulated, and confident throughout the day. These Desk Strips keep essential reminders—routines, expectations, tools, or regulation strategies—right at the learner’s workspace, reducing overwhelm and supporting independence during tasks and transitions.

Created in a calm, low‑stim, accessible style, these visuals help learners understand what to do, what’s next, and how to support their own regulation without relying on constant verbal prompts.
