PRESENTATIONS Presentations can be another daunting task, but when bro- ken down and using information the student already knows, they are easier to tackle. Inspiration makes presentation slides from your visual diagram, meaning the visual cues that students have added to their diagrams can then become visual cues for them whilst presenting. This helps to keep them on track with what they are speaking about, as well as provides a visually ap- pealing presentation to the audience. TEACHING As well as a tool for empowering students with neuro differ- ences to be independent learners, Inspiration 11 makes it quick and easy for educators to produce graphic organizers that sup- port the teaching of curriculum concepts in an accessible for- mat. Tricky concepts that can be difficult to explain verbally in class or text, can be concisely summarized in an engaging diagram on a single page. For example, creating a concept map covering difficult topics in STEM subjects. This allows students to easily synthesize the information and deepen their understanding.
