Daily Schedules

For a child with speech difficulties, even communicating basic needs may become confusing and challenging. Using picture communication may assist the child in expressing their needs with ease, without feeling anxious. This can be in the form of pictures to convey basic needs, emergency needs, to learn about the steps involved in activities of daily living, and for communicating one’s feelings with another. 

Here are examples of picture schedules a non-verbal child can use to communicate:

  • Daily schedules
    1. Children with special needs may often find it difficult to transition between tasks and understand what comes before and after. Simple steps that happen in a sequence like taking a shower may become overwhelming, where the child is unable to process the functional demands of taking a shower. Using a visual schedule helps the child break down these steps and understand them better.
    2. A visual schedule includes a sequence of photographs, videos, line drawings, symbols, text, or other visual format that is used to show the sequence of an event or activity. 

Given above are some examples of visual schedules for daily routine activities such as brushing, bathing, toileting etc. You can create your own visual schedules based on what your child engages in regularly.
