Visual schedules:
Clear simple photos of your child’s daily routine may include breakfast brush teeth getting dressed school dinner bath story bed. An 8 step day to support their regulation, understanding of expectation and reduces overstimulation and language especially for difficult times of the day.
You can refer them to their schedule, creating it together is a fun activity and you always add photos such as play dates and extra curricular activities.
This is particularly useful for children who are nonverbal.
Broken down routines: concise to a day, time or place
Morning - play - bath - dress - eat
Evening - bath - book - milk - bed
Sundays - get dressed - car - church - grandmas house
Church- feed - change - Sunday school - feed - change - nap
Some sort of regularity in areas that your child can be waiting around for long doing things they don’t enjoy or they get fussy will support their tolerance
It also develops their understanding of life experiences surrounding these parts of the day and forms their identity
From living out the routine to creating visual schedules are great builders for language and collaborative scheduling with your child
Remember development is the goal for all 🫶🏽
