PLAY SPACE MODEL PLAY STRATEGIES FOR THE CHILD MOVEVisual Systems used during play 1…VISUAL SYSTEM - Schedules A schedule is a visual system that provides information about the sequence and order of activities in a particular time period. Schedules can provide a means to represent abstract concepts such as time in a more concrete and manageable form. can help the child see how their day is planned and structured can provide the child with a sense of security and control. instead of feeling anxious because things seem to be happening randomly to them. You can use object symbols or photos or computer line drawings to represent the items in the schedule. The pictures are placed on the chart by using Velcro on the chart and on the back of each picture card. You can have a set of cards for each day so that all the various activities can be represented. Laminating each card will help to protect it for longer. Keep the cards always in the same safe place, and as your child becomes more familiar with the system they can take the cards for the day and put them on the chart. An important activity in the daily schedule should be play. Children with disabilities need to have opportunities within their day to play. It is a good idea to set aside regular short periods each day when you ‘play’ with your child. Some children do become frustrated when their parents try to play with them. You can help your child get used to playing with you by scheduling times to play everyday. This will help your child anticipate playtime by keeping it predictable. This predictability will form recognition of daily events and help the child feel that life begins to make sense which will help the child acquire the concept of time and stability.
The daily schedule shows the big picture for the day and is generally not specific. The schedule may say, “playtime” but that may be anything for example playing with puzzles, trains, blocks, playing outside etc. Consider how many activities you will display on the schedule at the one time; for example, morning activities vs. the entire day’s activities. When an activity has finished the child can remove the picture symbol and put it in a finished envelope/box. Alternatively, the child can turn the picture around to indicate that the activity has finished. DAILY SCHEDULE: Morning. Afternoon, Night Activities Keep finished cards in special envelope or box
