Environmental Cues
Use Montessori-based signage and visual cues to guide independent way finding in the environment, like labelled or colour-coded doors or paths.
... the environment is fundamental…and must allow free scope for a [person’s] energies, by offering the necessary means for the activities to which they give rise.
Maria Montessori
