What are Visual Schedules?

Visual schedules are picture or symbol-based organizers to sequence the order of tasks in a certain block of time or during the day. Visual schedules can be printed on paper or in digital format using an online tool, app or software.

What are the benefits of visual schedules?

Visual schedules work well for students who use visual symbols to understand and communicate.  By providing routine, predictability and structure, individuals can foster independence and learn to transition successfully from one task to another. Visual schedules can be used to break down a new skill or process into manageable, small chunks so the task is not overwhelming, which can reduce melt downs.
