Description

First-Then Boards are effective visual supports used to provide clear expectations, particularly for students on the Autism spectrum. The board shows a picture of what is to be done "First," which is typically the expected task (i.e., math work), followed by the "Then," which is a preferred task (i.e., computer game or other specific desired activity). They are a great tool in helping students through the less desirable tasks both at home and at school.

This file contains two half-page First-Then Boards and one full-page board. They work well with PECS images or any other activity visuals you may use with your students.

This was exactly what I needed for my students. I like how there are different size options, too.

My students loved using this resource throughout the day. I would change it after each task, so they would know what they needed to do next. For one of my students who is quite difficult, I use it as a reward. First work, then a treat, playdoh, blocks or legos.

I used this to make a first/then board for a student. The size on this is perfect and I was happy to find it already made. Thank you!

These were so easy to use in my special Ed room! They were perfect sized print and contained common boards the students have seen before! They are great sizes
