Focus #1 | Go + Slow Zone Visual Tool

Our first Visual in Focus is Go + Slow Zones.

Movement and energy can look different across learners, activities and environments. Go & Slow Zones is designed to help make it more visible where different kinds of movement and energy are supported throughout the day.

Go supports movement, activation and higher-energy activities:

→ I can move more here.

→ My energy goes up.

Slow supports slowing down, resetting and reducing stimulation:

→ I can slow down here.

→ My energy goes down.

→ I can reset.

Rather than labelling movement or energy as good or bad, Go & Slow can help learners notice which kinds of movement work in different spaces while supporting communication, shared expectations, safety and self-awareness.

I’ve included a black-and-white community version for you to download, try and keep. It's attached! 👇🏼

If you’re curious about the other variations or would like to learn more about the tool, you can explore Go & Slow Zones in the Visually Speaking shop:

💭 Where might Go & Slow fit in your world?

Maybe there’s a particular space, routine or transition that comes to mind — at home, at school, in a therapy setting or somewhere else entirely.

Share your ideas or wonderings in the comments. I’d love for us to explore this one together.
