26 Topic 11 – Visual System b) Daily Schedule A schedule is a visual system that provides information about the sequence and order of activities in a particular time period. Schedules provide a means to represent abstract concepts such as time in a more concrete and manageable form. Schedules can provide the child with a sense of security and control because they can refer to it to see how their day is planned and structured instead of feeling anxious because things seem to be happening randomly to them. The items in the schedule can be represented as object symbols /photos/computer line drawings as appropriate. Example of a Morning Schedule topbottom Example of a Daily Schedule left right (divided into three sections)
27 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 the activity has finished. Example of only the morning section being displayed Example of a Finished Envelope Example of child turning the picture Black and white chequered boxes are drawn onto an envelope
