The document discusses the use of posters as an educational tool in special secondary education in Greece. It provides examples of how posters have been used to teach concepts like hand washing sequences, Makaton signs, and dealing with anger. The author notes that posters are a visual aid that can be adapted to students' special education needs and incorporated into many lesson plans. Several examples are given of posters created to teach science concepts through hands-on activities using low-cost materials and an inquiry-based approach.

4. • Teaching in Special Education is a demanding task. We must take into
account each students special education needs (SEN).
• I faced the necessity of creating a “drawn to the eye” and “flexible” –
in meaning of adding content and personalizing fitting students’ SEN –
educational material.
• Posters are such a visual tool that can be part of many lesson plans
and activities in any context – e.g. as an advance organizer, as a
common reference content, a resumption material, a cross thematic
material, etc.
