START TOGETHER
ADAPT WITH PURPOSE
KEEP IT FAMILIAR
MORE THAN A SCHEDULE
A visual can make a routine easier to anticipate, a direction easier to revisit, or a new idea easier to understand. Use them proactively with the whole class, then add more individualized support when it is useful.
Show what is happening now, what comes next, and what students can expect as the day changes.
Try it for arrival, centers, cleanup, and dismissal.
Pair spoken and written directions with a reference students can check without waiting for another prompt.
Try it for assignments, projects, labs, and stations.
Add visual context to new words, abstract ideas, background knowledge, and subject-area language.
Try it for word walls, previews, and lesson anchors.
Offer more than one way to understand, respond, make a choice, and take part in the lesson.
Try it for response options, discussion, and reflection.
Create references students can return to as they begin, continue, and finish work with less repeated prompting.
Try it for checklists, work systems, and self-monitoring.
Build shared language for feelings, expectations, problem-solving, belonging, and asking for help.
Try it for class meetings, regulation, and repair.Useful across learner profiles. Visual supports can offer another point of access for multilingual learners, early readers, students developing executive-function skills, and learners who use more individualized communication or instructional supports.
ONE GOAL · FLEXIBLE SUPPORT
The same visual language can move with a lesson—from a classroom display, to a focused small-group resource, to an individual support. Change the amount of information, the layout, or the words while keeping the visuals familiar.
Different levels do not mean different platforms. Create, duplicate, and adapt inside the same Smarty Symbols Studio workspace.
Display the routine, directions, expectations, or key vocabulary where the class can refer back to it.
Simplify the page, highlight selected vocabulary, or break the task into a shorter sequence for guided practice.
Adjust the language, number of choices, visual detail, or response format around a learner’s current needs.
The goal stays connected. The support becomes more specific.
CREATE FOR REAL CLASSROOM MOMENTS
Start with a template or a blank canvas, then combine Smarty Symbols, your own images, words, and layouts to build resources that fit the lesson and the learners in front of you.
ORGANIZE THE DAY
Make procedures, transitions, shared expectations, and what happens next easier to understand across the school day.
TEACH THE IDEA
Add visual meaning to new language, key ideas, and background knowledge.
PRACTICE & REVIEW
Turn familiar symbols and lesson content into engaging on-screen practice.
EXPRESS & RESPOND
Offer clear ways to ask, answer, choose, comment, and participate.
PREPARE & REFLECT
Explain unfamiliar situations, shared expectations, feelings, and problem-solving.
BREAK DOWN THE TASK
Pair words with visuals and divide complex work into understandable steps.
FROM IDEA TO READY-TO-USE
Start from a structure that already works, make it specific to your learners, and choose the format that fits the moment.
Begin with a schedule, sequence, board, worksheet, story, game, or another ready-made layout.
Search the inclusive Smarty Symbols library or add familiar classroom, student, or curriculum images.
Drag, drop, resize, duplicate, and adjust the amount of information without needing design experience.
Print, download, share, or display the finished resource on screen—then return to edit it anytime.

NO DESIGN EXPERIENCE REQUIREDSave projects, duplicate a useful version, and return later to change the vocabulary, sequence, visual detail, or layout.
