How to choose the right schedule
- Start with one routine. Pick one that happens every day and is often hard: brushing teeth, getting dressed, getting ready for bed, or leaving the house. Starting with one gives your child time to learn how a schedule works before you add more.
- Check that the steps match how your family does it. The tables list every step. For example, Getting Ready for School ends with getting in the car or bus, Getting Dressed starts by looking at the weather, and Taking a Bath includes checking that the water is warm, not hot. Choose the one closest to your own routine. If yours is different, our free Visual Schedule tool lets you change the steps and print your own.
- Boy or girl pictures. Many schedules come in a boy and a girl version with the same steps. Choose the pictures your child will recognize best.
- Get it ready. Each single schedule is two pages: the steps, then instructions to print, laminate, cut out the pictures and add Velcro, so your child can move each picture to a “done” column when a step is finished. Most come with the pictures. Getting New Shoes, Getting Undressed and Washing Face give the written steps, and you find or take a picture for each one.
- Put it where the routine happens, at your child's eye level: the toothbrushing schedule by the bathroom sink, the dressing schedule by the clothes. Our free guide How to use a visual schedule at home shows how to teach it, give the least help that works, and step back.
- Want to make your own instead? The free Visual Schedule tool lets you pick a routine, change the steps and print it. After you pick a routine, a short form asks for your role, name, email and country (and ZIP code in the US) before the schedule maker opens.
