What is Visual Aids?Visual aids come in form from physical

objects, photographs, and maps to slides, overheads and presentations.

Visual aids :1. Convey what words alone cannot,2. Explain abstract concept,3. Aid retention of information,4. Maintain audience interest.

Effective visual aids are simple, relevant, and reinforce the content of speech.

The MERE presence of visual aids in a speech does not make a speech better.

Deliberate consideration and planning are required to effectively incorporate visual aids into speech.

The best visual aids are only as good as the presenter is able to deliver the speech and effortlessly transition between visual aids.

PLANNINGCan you achieve your purpose without visual

aids?What will you be presenting?Who is your audience?Whom will you be presenting?
