The guide defines visual schedules as lines of pictures, objects, or words that represent daily transitions, explains how schedules can increase stability while preserving flexibility, and reviews multiple schedule formats. It also provides step-by-step instructions for creating a visual schedule and outlines how to teach and use it during daily routines.","How-To Templates   \n Visual Schedules   \nIndividuals with an ASD sometimes have difficulties with sequential processing (i.e., learning the order of events) . These difficulties with sequential processing may results in individuals becoming anxious or overwhelmed in certain situations, which in turn may lead to problem behaviors. In contrast, individuals with ASDs often have strengthsin visual processing. As a result of this strength, the use of visual schedules can help the individual better understand expectations, thus reducing the likelihood of negative behaviors.  \nA visual schedule is a line of pictures, objects, or words that represent each major transition during the day. Some people worry that by adding a schedule to an individual’s day, it reduces the individual’s ability to be flexible. In reality, the opposite is true. By implementing a visual schedule, individuals generally are less dependent on having the same daily routine ongoing because the schedule itself provides the stability and routines/he needs. Individuals can better handle changes to routine when they have schedules because they know that, regardless of the precise activities reflected, they can always determine what will happen next and get information by checking their schedule.  \nThere are a variety of visual schedule formats available. Individuals should always be actively involved in monitoring his/her schedule (e.g., peel off completed activities, check off boxes for activities) .  \nThere are a variety of activity schedule formats available (e.g., picture, word, pull-off, check off) . For details on each format, refer to the information for visual schedules on this website.  \nHow Do I Make a Visual Schedule?  \n1. Break the individual’s day into several steps represented by pictures or words  \n2. Be conscious of details (include even minor steps as needed for the individual)  \n3. Represent each activity so the individual knows what is expected (even periods like free time and break)  \n4. Determine the best visual format for the individual based on skills (motor, reading, attention to detail, etc. ), developmental level, interests, distractibility, and functionality  \n5. Determine how the schedule will be used to indicate which activities are completed and which remain to be done as well as how the individuals will transition to and from the schedule (e.g.., transition strips, transition pockets, finished pockets on schedule, mobile schedules)  \n6. Added details in making these format decisions are provided below in the sections regarding specific types of schedules.  \nChristian Sarkine Autism Treatment Center  \nIU™ School of Medicine  \n[www.HANDSinAutism.org](www.HANDSinAutism.org)[ ](www.HANDSinAutism.org)[hands@iupui.edu](hands@iupui.edu)[ ](hands@iupui.edu)[Tel:](Tel:) ([317](317))[274-2675](274-2675)[ ](274-2675)Fesler Hall (IUPUI) 1120 South Dr., Ste. 302 Indianapolis, IN 46202  \nHow-To Video: First-Then Board  \nHow-To Template: Activity Schedule  \nHow-To Template: First-Then Board  \nKid’s Corner Series:  \nLife with ASD Series Academia Series Strategies in Practice Series  \nView/download these and other templates at www.

Give a standard phrase (e.g.,“Check schedule”)  \n2. Prompt the individual (from behind) to go to the schedule  \n3. Prompt the individual to look at or point to the first activity  \n4. Prompt the individual to go to the location of the first activity  \n5. When the activity is over, give the standard phrase again and prompt the individual back to the schedule  \nThe schedule will require teaching; it will not automatically have meaning.  \nRemember! Use enough prompting to ensure the child gets there, but fade out slowly","cbCaiqYjR3sJxXBe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqYjR3sJxXBe","pdf",1991306,6,"English","en",105,"# How Do I Make a Visual Schedule?\n## Steps to create a visual schedule\n# How to Use a Visual Schedule\n## Prompting and teaching procedure\n# Formats and Presentations of Visual Schedules\n## Picture/Icon/Photo schedules\n## Object schedules","[{\"question\":\"What problem do visual schedules help address for individuals with ASD?\",\"answer\":\"Visual schedules help individuals better understand the order of events and expectations, reducing anxiety or overwhelm that may lead to problem behaviors.\"},{\"question\":\"Do visual schedules reduce flexibility for daily changes?\",\"answer\":\"No. Visual schedules provide stability, and individuals can handle changes better because they can check what will happen next.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main steps for creating a visual schedule?\",\"answer\":\"Break the day into steps, include needed details, represent each activity (including breaks/free time), choose a format based on the individual’s skills and needs, and decide how completion and transitions will be indicated.\"}]","Visual Schedules - How-To Templates | PDF",1790369173,2,{"code":4,"msg":76,"data":77},"ok",{"site_id":69,"language":68,"slug":78,"title":59,"keywords":79,"description":60,"schema_data":80,"social_meta":135,"head_meta":137,"extra_data":139,"updated_unix":140},"visual-schedules-how-to-templates","",{"@graph":81,"@context":134},[82,97,117],{"@type":83,"itemListElement":84},"BreadcrumbList",[85,89,91,94],{"item":86,"name":87,"@type":88,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":90,"name":10,"@type":88,"position":74},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",{"item":92,"name":36,"@type":88,"position":93},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/",3,{"item":95,"name":59,"@type":88,"position":96},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/visual-schedules-how-to-templates/392402/",4,{"url":95,"name":59,"@type":98,"image":99,"author":104,"headline":59,"publisher":106,"fileFormat":109,"inLanguage":68,"description":60,"dateModified":110,"datePublished":111,"encodingFormat":109,"isAccessibleForFree":112,"interactionStatistic":113},"DigitalDocument",{"url":100,"@type":101,"width":102,"height":103},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/visual-schedules-how-to-templates/392402.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":57,"@type":105},"Person",{"url":86,"name":107,"@type":108},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-11","2026-09-25",true,{"@type":114,"interactionType":115,"userInteractionCount":66},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":116},"ViewAction",{"@type":118,"mainEntity":119},"FAQPage",[120,126,130],{"name":121,"@type":122,"acceptedAnswer":123},"What problem do visual schedules help address for individuals with ASD?","Question",{"text":124,"@type":125},"Visual schedules help individuals better understand the order of events and expectations, reducing anxiety or overwhelm that may lead to problem behaviors.","Answer",{"name":127,"@type":122,"acceptedAnswer":128},"Do visual schedules reduce flexibility for daily changes?",{"text":129,"@type":125},"No. Visual schedules provide stability, and individuals can handle changes better because they can check what will happen next.",{"name":131,"@type":122,"acceptedAnswer":132},"What are the main steps for creating a visual schedule?",{"text":133,"@type":125},"Break the day into steps, include needed details, represent each activity (including breaks/free time), choose a format based on the individual’s skills and needs, and decide how completion and transitions will be indicated.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":95,"og:type":136,"og:title":59,"og:site_name":107,"og:description":60},"article",{"robots":138,"canonical":95},"index,follow",{"doc_id":55,"site_id":69},1791476249]
