Make sure you match what you create to the characteristics as they affect your child:
- Pick items of favorite colors (Color Characteristic).
- Create movement if your child benefits from that (Movement Characteristic).
- Backlighting helps kid locate and sustain gaze (Light Characteristic).
- Make sure pages are able to be examined for as long as your child needs (Latency Characteristic).
- Place the “book” in the best visual field (Visual Field Characteristic).
- Make the images non-complex (Visual Complexity Characteristic).
- Make the auditory input quieter and allow the image to be viewed without the sound (Auditory Complexity Characteristic).
- Place the book at near (Distance Characteristic).
- Pick items your child has great experiences with in the real world. I like photographs of their own toys (Visual Novelty Characteristic).
- Highlight or enlarge the area to be touched to turn the page (Visual Motor Characteristic)
