Printed on the sheet:
- Throw the towel
- Tip: Tape this page by the sink or slide it into a sheet protector on the bathroom door.
Teacher tip
Teach the steps backward if a student gets stuck: do every step together, then let them finish the last one alone, then the last two, and so on.
How to use it
- Let the student check off or remove each picture when it is done.
- Warn about changes early and show them on the schedule.
- Share a copy with families and therapists so home, school and therapy match.
Watch for
Changes that are not shown. Update the pictures before the student notices the day is different.
Talk about it
- What are we doing now? What is next?
- What comes next?
Take it further
Move from a full-day schedule to a short “now and next” strip, or the other way, as the student needs.
