What is visual schedule?

A visual schedule is a series of pictures that communicate to the individual a general idea about their day. Visual schedules include a small icon (picture) for each activity during that day. These icons can be moved to provide an accurate depiction of the learner’s schedule! Using vertical schedules can decrease stress and problem behavior that typically occurs during transitions. I know that I like to know what my plan is for the day...and some kids like to know, too!
