Visual Schedules and Autism

How stressed out are you by daily routines? What about your kids? I mean, it's something that we do, as a household, every.single.day. Why does it have to be so stressful? Most of us do not use visual schedules at home though many kids use them at school. These free printable visual schedules for home and daily routines might help make things easier.

Kids with autism may have more difficulty coping with unstructured time than other kids. They may benefit from the increased structure in their lives. Also, printable schedules can help a child with anxiety who is often fretting over "what is going to happen next." A visual schedule helps them plan and prepare even if the next activity is non-preferred. Most of all, these visual schedules are free! I hope this makes your mornings easier.

What is a Visual Schedule?

From Wikipedia: Visual schedules use a series of pictures to communicate a series of activities or the steps of a specific activity. They are often used to help children understand and manage daily events in their lives. They can be created using pictures, photographs, or written words, depending upon the ability of the child.

I am going to try a few of these. My son has limited communication skills. We've never done this at home but I know he uses printable schedules at school. Sesame Street just launched some new Daily Routine Cards. I think I may try those first.

Benefits of using Visual Schedules

The advantages of using these free printable visual schedules for home and daily routines for children with autism are:

help utilizes the individual's visual strengths and therefore provides a receptive communication system to increase understanding

It helps the individual to learn new things and broaden their interests

It provides tools that allow the individual to use skills in a variety of settings

predictability can help the individual remain calm and reduces inappropriate behaviors

child can develop independence and resulting self-esteem

Tip for using these free printable visual schedules for home and daily routines: Look below, and definitely print the first one. Then find others that suit your needs and print that to use with number 1.
Reasons that Parents may not use Visual Schedules in the Home.

Despite these benefits, setting up a picture schedule can seem like a daunting, time-consuming task for many parents. Keep in mind that the schedule doesn't have to be perfect.

Maybe you want to have your child browse these with you and help choose them. I also have included links to purchase schedules if you don't want to make your own.

30 Reasons to Use Visual Schedules

1. Help kids learn sight words.

2. Better for kids who learn visually rather than auditory.

3. Allow for independence-child can see what is coming next, rather than asking.

4. Help some kids plan for transitions.

5. They are evidence-based.

If you are still trying to get your school or your team use visual schedules, consider printing this out and sharing it with them.

Additionally, the time you invest in creating schedules now can save you time later correcting behaviors. Furthermore, it is also likely to save your son or daughter time by increasing their skills and independence.

But, in order to make it easier for you, I have found more than 30 free printable visual schedules. I numbered them so that if you share this post with your child's team members, you'll know which printable visual schedule you are talking about.

It is a one stop pro d shop for today's busy teachers!
