Download: Picture schedules for daily routines
Daily routines — like getting ready for school — can be hard for kids to stick to, especially if they’re easily distracted or have trouble with organization. Picture schedules and visual planners can help.
Picture schedules use images to show the steps of a routine. They’re simpler and easier to follow than written schedules.
Here are a few examples of picture schedules. Print them out and use them as is. Or cut out the images and attach them in the order you want.
