Super Star Schedule: More Individual Schedules

As we have shared before, interactive visual schedules can be an excellent support for students who have anxiety about when events occur throughout the day or who struggle with transitioning. Luckily, many of the teams we work with already know what a powerful support visual schedules are so we have seen some really great examples that we have gathered to share on today's Super Star Schedules.

For students who have escape behaviors or are frequently anxious about when they will be able to do a favorite activity (such as lunch and recess), a schedule with interactive pieces that can be removed as they are completed can be a great way to show the passing of time and the finished activities actually "going away".

Other students may like the satisfaction of seeing items crossed or checked off of their schedule so they use a checklist schedule. Please note, when using a checklist schedule it is important that the student is the one actually checking it off so that they are continually interacting and viewing the schedule.

Some students need to know what work they will do during a scheduled activity. Incorporating visual mini schedules can be a great way to visually display work expectations on the visual schedule.
