Picture schedules are a great visual enhancement strategy recommended by many to help individuals to understand what is coming next in their day!
We all follow a schedule.
Visual picture schedules are an established way to help individuals with special needs and others that may need them to see where they will be, what they are expected to do and what the next activity is in their day. Understanding these important daily aspects are important for everyone and is often helpful to those students with disabilities such as autism.
(Note: Not all individuals are capable of using these forms of picture communication.)
