28 Topic 11 – Visual System c) Mini Schedule A mini schedule is visual system that represents a task analysis of an activity from the main schedule. Task analysis refers to breaking down an activity into simple, clear and manageable steps. Sometimes there are lots of steps within an activity which are not shown on the daily schedule. This can prove confusing to the child. For example, get ready is very general, but ‘put your lunchbox in the fridge’, ‘put your communication book on the teacher’s desk’, ‘put your drink bottle on you desk’ and ‘hang up your bag’ defines the precise steps within the “getting ready” instruction. The items in the mini schedule can be represented as object symbols /photos/computer line drawings. Example of a getting ready in the morning mini schedule Example of a washing hands mini schedule
