My Day Visual Schedules is a printable set of visual supports for PreK, kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade classrooms, special education rooms and autism support programs. It helps young children understand the order of their day, manage transitions and follow routines at school and at home.
The picture cards are the core of the set: 45 school cards, 15 home and transition cards, large cards for a classroom schedule and mini cards for a desk schedule. Every card pairs a picture with a word, and blank fillable cards let you add activities that are unique to your classroom.
Two levels of visual support are included. Some children need only a First-Then or Now and Next board, while others are ready for a First-Then-Next board, a My Schedule strip, a full-day schedule or a weekly schedule. Morning and end of day checklists and a custom fillable checklist support independent routines.
Extra tools round out a daily routine system: an I Am Working For token board, an I Choose choice board, time cards, clock cards, schedule title cards and All Done pocket labels. For families, there is a When My Day Changes social story, a family letter and morning and bedtime routine pages.
The 38 pages come as a PDF plus a fillable PDF with 135 editable text fields. A two-week setup plan, teacher notes and fillable PDF instructions walk you through getting schedules running for back to school or any new start.
