Visual Schedules
From Handwiki Visual schedules use a series of pictures to communicate a series of activities or the steps of a specific activity.[1][2] They are often used to help children understand and manage the daily events in their lives.[3] They can be created using pictures, photographs, or written words, depending upon the ability of the child. Visual schedules are placed on a schedule board or notebook in order to provide a clear expectation for the child. Ideally, visual schedules are introduced with adult guidance that gradually decreases with time.[3][4] They are frequently introduced as a component of speech therapy, but can also be used at school and at home.[5]
A recent online survey found that 43.2% of parents of autistic children use visual schedules.[6]
