Teacher tip
Clip a clothespin or a paper arrow to the side of the page and slide it down to show “now”. Many students watch the arrow more than the check boxes.
How to use it
- Post the schedule at the student’s eye level, where it can be seen from their seat.
- Go over the whole day first thing in the morning, then point to each picture as it comes up.
- Model the page yourself first, then do it together, then let the student try with less and less help.
Watch for
A schedule nobody looks at. Point to it at every transition so it stays useful.
Talk about it
- What are we doing now? What is next?
- What comes next?
Take it further
Add a real photo of the student doing each activity.
