Abstract: The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the use of visual aids with children with \nautism within both autism specific preschool classrooms and mainstream preschool \nclassrooms from a teacher’s perspective. Both classrooms had children with autism \nattending when the research was conducted. Qualitative interview schedules were \nconducted with participants from both settings. The research sample consisted of \nthree autism specific preschool teachers and three mainstream preschool teachers. \nResults showed that there was a significant difference with the use of visual aids \nbetween the two preschool settings. Findings suggest that the autism specific \npreschool teachers showed a higher degree of knowledge and experience with all \nvisual aids within the preschool setting.
