Visual Schedules
Frequently asked questions
What is a visual schedule?
A visual schedule is a picture version of a routine. Instead of telling a child the order of the morning, you show it: get dressed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, shoes on. Most of ours are magnets, so the order can change as the day changes.
What age are visual schedules for?
Roughly two and up. A toddler does best with three or four pictures for one part of the day. A school-aged child can handle a full morning, a whole week, or a planner they move themselves. Start with fewer pictures than you think, and add more later.
How do you use a visual schedule at home?
Put it where the routine actually happens, so the morning one goes in the kitchen or the bathroom rather than the bedroom. Or even better, we make ours portable with a magnetic board that moves around with them as they go about their routine. Build it with your child rather than for them. Then point at it instead of repeating yourself, and let them move the magnet when a step is done.
Are visual schedules only for autistic children?
No. They started in classrooms and therapy rooms, and plenty of families now use them who simply want a calmer morning, or evening, at home. If your child is autistic you may have already seen one at kinder or school, and having the same thing at home means the two places match.
What is the difference between a visual schedule and a routine chart?
Not all that much. Visual schedule, routine chart, routine board and visual planner all describe a similar thing. The names come from different places. Schools tend to say visual schedule, and families tend to say routine chart. The key is that it’s pictures and not words so that younger children, and children with developmental delays are able to access and use them.
