Using a visual schedule is an evidenced based practice to support individuals with information about their routines, activities, tasks and expectations. This may be used for students who are resistant to changes in routine or experience difficulty with task completion not due to skill deficits. Students who require visuals and positive consequences for completing tasks are perfect candidates for this behavior intervention.

This download includes vibrant visuals with a visual chart so that the individual's schedule or tasks may be listed in the first column and a space for tasks to be checked off once completed for each day of the school week. The download offers nine different colors/themes. The visuals include typical school subject areas, transitions (such as lunch and recess), and electives (related arts classes). You may also laminate the chart and write in the tasks/schedules which would allow some flexibility. You may use a dry erase marker to check off the boxes once a task is completed or you may laminate some of the "stickers" provided in the download and use velcro to attach them to the chart as needed.

In addition, an intervention guide with scripts is included to assist with intervention implementation and ways to address student resistance.
