Use this schedule to show children what activities or routines are coming throughout the day. Place activity cards in the squares in the order they will happen. Write the activity name on the line underneath each picture if helpful. Review the schedule at the beginning of the day and refer back to it as activities are completed.
Use this board to give children opportunities to make choices throughout the day. Place pictures of available activities, toys, or preferred items in the spaces. Encourage the child to point to or select what they would like. Rotate the pictures to reflect available options and the child's interests.
These cards are designed to be used across multiple visual supports. Print, cut, and laminate the cards for durability. Add hook-and-loop fasteners to the back so they can be attached and removed from boards as needed. Select cards that reflect the child's daily activities, interests, and routines.
Keep this board somewhere the child can easily see and reach it. Model pointing to the pictures when communicating needs such as help, a break, water, or more time. Encourage the child to point to the picture that communicates what they need or want. Always acknowledge and respond to their communication.
This is a supplemental communication support and does not replace an individualized AAC system.
Use this board to help children understand what is happening now and what comes next. Place a picture of the first activity in the "First" space and a picture of the following activity in the "Then" space. Review the board with the child, and refer to it as activities change. This can help make transitions more predictable and encourage participation.
Use this board to help children see their progress toward a goal or activity. Identify something meaningful that the child is working toward and place its picture in the reward space. Each time the agreed-upon goal or step is completed, provide a token in one of the spaces. When all spaces are filled, provide the identified reinforcer.
Start with an achievable number of tokens and make sure the reward is meaningful to the child.
