Use the templates at home to support calmer mornings, smoother transitions and more predictable daily routines.  \n\n| Reduce uncertainty\u003Cbr>Children often feel calmer when they can see what is happening next. | Support independence\u003Cbr>Visual prompts reduce the need for repeated verbal reminders. | Make transitions easier\u003Cbr>A clear first/then plan can help children move between activities. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nHow to use this toolkit  \nKeep it simple  \nA visual schedule does not need to be perfect. Start with one tricky part of the day, such as getting ready for school, bedtime or leaving the house.  \nWhat is a visual schedule?  \nA visual schedule is a simple way to show a child the order of activities using pictures, symbols, objects, words or a mixture of these. It helps make routines visible and predictable.  \nIt can help with:  \n• understanding what is happening now and next  \n• reducing anxiety linked to uncertainty or change  \n• supporting attention, memory and processing  \n• building independence with daily routines  \n• reducing repeated verbal instructions  \n• supporting children who find transitions hard  \nHow to introduce it  \n1. Choose one routine to start with.  \n2. Use clear pictures, simple words or real objects.  \n3. Show the schedule before the routine begins.  \n4. Point to each step as it happens.  \n5. Remove, tick or move each step when it is finished.  \n6. Celebrate progress, even if the routine is not perfect.  \nFamily note  \nSome children need the same visual repeated many times before it becomes helpful. This is not failure-it is the child learning to trust the routine.  \nChoosing the right type of visual  \n\n| Type of visual Best for Example Tip |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Real objects | Very young learners or children who need concrete prompts | A toothbrush for brushing teeth | Use the real item when pictures are too abstract. |\n| Photos | Home routines and familiar places | Photo of their shoes or lunchbox | Take photos on your phone and print them. |\n| Simple symbols | Repeating routines | A bed symbol for bedtime | Use the same symbol consistently. |\n| Words | Children who read or recognise key words | Breakfast, shoes, school | Pair words with pictures when possible. |\n\nTop tips for success  \n• Use fewer steps at first. Three to five steps is often enough.  \n• Use positive, clear language such as \"shoes on\" rather than \"do not forget your shoes\".  \n• Place the schedule where the routine happens.  \n• Build in something motivating after a difficult step.  \n• Use a finished box so the child can see progress.  \n• Change the schedule calmly when plans change and show the new plan visually.  \nTemplate 1: First / Then Board  \nUse this when a child needs help moving from one activity to another. Keep it short and clear.  \n\n| \u003Cbr>FIRST THEN |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Place picture or write activity here | Place picture or write activity here |\n| Example\u003Cbr>First: shoes on. Then: choose a song for the car. First: bath. Then: bedtime story. |  |\n\nTemplate 2: My Daily Routine  \nTime / order Picture or symbol Activity  \n\n| 1 | Draw, stick or write |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 2 | Draw, stick or write |  |\n| 3 | Draw, stick or write |  |\n| 4 | Draw, stick or write |  |\n| 5 | Draw, stick or write |  |\n| 6 | Draw, stick or write |  |\n| 7 | Draw, stick or write |  |\n| 8 | Draw, stick or write |  |\n\nTemplate 3: Morning Routine  \nUse this for school mornings or nursery mornings. Tick, move or remove each step as it is completed.  \n\n| Done Picture / symbol Step Notes |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| [ ] | Draw or stick picture | Wake up |  |\n| [ ] | Draw or stick picture | Toilet |  |\n| [ ] | Draw or stick picture | Get dressed |  |\n| [ ] | Draw or stick picture | Breakfast |  |","cbCaijQxm11Cz29N","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijQxm11Cz29N","pdf",181633,"English","# How to use this toolkit\n## Keep it simple\n## What is a visual schedule?\n## How to introduce it\n## Choosing the right type of visual\n## Top tips for success\n# Printable templates\n## Template 1: First / Then Board\n## Template 2: My Daily Routine\n## Template 3: Morning Routine\n## Template 4: After School Routine\n## Template 5: Bedtime Routine\n## Template 6: Change and Transition Cards","[{\"question\":\"What is a visual schedule and what does it help children do?\",\"answer\":\"A visual schedule shows the order of activities using pictures, symbols, objects, words, or a mix.
