- Visual Schedules can be a crucial piece in helping a child to learn to follow directions, sequence the steps to an activity, or to communicate their wants and needs.
- Many children with special needs such as those with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing difficulties also have language delays, difficulties with transitioning, and difficulty tolerating changes to their routine.
- They may have difficulty managing their emotions, understanding spoke language, and demonstrating expected behaviors.
- Using a visual schedule can be very effective in helping the child to understand the rules and expectations while also promoting independence and specific behavioral expectations.
- In this crash course, we will give you the tools you need to develop easy and effective visual schedules to use with your patients or students in the clinic, classroom, and at home!

Testimony
"As a school counselor, I have used visual schedules mostly with younger elementary school students with behavioral concerns, including students with neurodivergent/developmentally delayed needs as well as those without. I believe that visual or written schedules for younger children are a lead in to teaching them to use an agenda/planner/calendar when they get older. For my own child who has attention/anxiety concerns, teaching her how to use a these tools has enhanced her ability to remain organized and on task. She feels so much better about herself when she accomplishes her daily "to do" list. Thank you for producing this PD and making it available to me."

"It was great to hear from experienced therapists how effective it is to implement. Even when I had basic information about visual schedules, it is difficult for me to implement on my sessions, I underestimated the effectiveness."
