Visual Schedules have huge benefits at school AND at home. Creating a visual schedule routine at home can be extremely beneficial in reducing problem behavior and increasing independence for the child.
Who are home visual schedules for?
Home visual schedules will work for any student using them at school or for children or adults who want to increase independence at home. If you are a parent of a child who has anxiety about activities or would benefit from a home visual schedule, this is for you!
What do you use the visuals for?
Not only can you use them for a mini schedule, first then board, but you can also use them for daily routines where the child or adult may need more support to complete independently.
Here is an example of a wake up routine using home visual schedules, the student would circle the check mark as they are completed.
