A visual “iceberg” diagram used in autism education. At the top, above the waterline, are two labeled boxes: “Observed Behavior” on the left and “Expected Activity” on the right. Below the waterline, forming the larger hidden portion of the iceberg, are two additional boxes: on the left, “Possible reasons for observed behavior/not engaging in expected activity from the perspective of autism,” and on the right, “Visual supports, teaching strategies, and skills to engage in the expected activity.” The graphic emphasizes that underlying factors and supports (below the surface) are larger and less visible than observable behavior (above the surface).
