This SWCCCASE (Southwest Cook County Collaborative Association for Special Education) poster serves as an aide for a their training vocational program for youth with disabilities. I worked as a para-professional within this program as a temporary assignment and was able to see first hand how the training benefited the youth. Also, I was able to work with students with various disabilities and learned how to focus on their strengths rather than what they struggled with. Through visualization, I harnessed the heart of the program, creating clean and legible designs seen in this aide for the students we supported.
Every student learns in a different way. Some would get over-whelmed with a lot of info on one page. So, I created a multi-paged booklet that had one step per page. I included colors for those who identified transitions with color and graphics for those who needed pictures to relate to. For this piece, I took a double sided flyer and streamlined the process into steps. These steps were then visualized in a flow chart with flat graphics representing each step.
