Visual supports

Strategy

Visual supports use images, symbols, or diagrams to communicate information. They can help people understand what is expected, what will happen, or how to complete tasks.

You can also try:

  • Use symbols to mark different sections
  • Use symbols for steps in a workflow
  • Put symbols or pictures next to text to illustrate the key point
  • Use flowcharts for sequences of tasks
  • Use colour coding to differentiate types of information
