My students utilize a visual schedule daily. This schedule is made using card stock, colored ink, and we try to laminate for durability. Utilizing this technique enhances learning and communication for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. These types of visual support systems provide teachers and parents with the tools needed to help children reach development goals and achieve success in life. Visual Schedules are a graphic representation of scheduled tasks and activities. They are very useful for breaking down tasks that have multiple steps and ensuring that my students follow rules and deadlines. Visual schedules reduce anxiety by providing consistency while also reducing resistance that comes with certain activities. They also provide structured predictability. Students with autism must know what is coming next so they can emotionally prepare for the upcoming activity. This presents the student with expectations that they can then manage, helping to ease transition periods. Although most people associate visual schedules with pictures or photographs, events can be triggered through toys, objects and even word phrases. The visual schedule itself is a constant reminder to students where they should be, what they should be doing and when she should start and finish. This allows my students to increase their self-esteem and become independent learners.
