Frequently asked questions

How do I introduce a visual schedule?
Start with one short routine (for example, the morning). Go through the pictures together and tick off each step. After a few days many children start using the schedule on their own.
Does a communication board replace speech?
No — research shows that augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) often supports speech development. A speech and language therapist can help choose the right system.
Can I change the pictures?
Yes. The first–then version includes cut-out pictures you can attach with Velcro and swap during the day.
