Remember to
follow a schedule
During this time of uncertainty for everyone, but especially our children, it is very important to have a schedule in mind and follow through with it to the best of our abilities. Here we have compiled 6 reasons why they are so important:
1. Visual Schedules promote independence just like agendas guide adults on their daily routine.
2. They are rule-based and will assist your child in learning to follow adult directives.
3. They provide a permanent visual reminder. And who doesn't love visuals that allow us to understand information faster and easier.
4. They relieve anxiety. Imagine if I took your agenda away from you. Would you know when your dentist appointment would be? Knowing what's first, next, and last is crucial to plan ahead.
5. They assist with transitions. They give the child information about what is going to happen and what is expected. This way, they can plan for the upcoming activity without it being a surprise.
6. They are evidence based. They have been used for numerous routines and proven to be successful as an aid for task completion.
Visual schedules can be used for ANYTHING, just ask our analysts and we will help you :)
