Although visual supports are effective in helping to diminish many of the challengesof autism, they are difficult and time-consuming to create, distribute, and use. In this paper, we present the results ofa qualitative study focused on uncovering design guidelines for interactive visual supports that would address the many challengesinherent to current tools and practices. We present three prototype systems that address these design challenges with theuse of large group displays, mobile personal devices, and personal recording technologies. We also describe the interventionsassociated with these prototypes along with the results from two focus group discussions around the interventions. We presentfurther design guidance for visual supports and discuss tensions inherent to their design.
