There are many benefits to using a visual schedule at home, or in the classroom, with your children. They can be a powerful tool for keeping your child organized, providing independence, and reducing meltdowns, for instance.
I remember when we were first introduced to using visual schedule pictures at home and it was simply life changing for us! Due to J's hyperlexia, he thrives when there is written text because, when it comes to hyperlexia, if it is not written down, it may not exist. So I spent an afternoon whipping up our very own visual schedule and quickly put it into use at home. Having a visual daily routine visible to him really reduced anxiety and frustration for him and dramatically improved our day-to-day-life.
