Image 4: Here is an example of Boardmaker used to create two procedural schedules specifically for one student. Students, EAs, and the teacher can refer to the calendar easily. However, the idea is the same.īenefits: The predictability of the daily schedule is visually available and clearly indicated. The shape is different, and it is placed a bit higher and in a different arrangement from the “Shape of the Day” we’ve seen in the previous images. Image 3: Here is an example of the Boardmaker images being used for Calendar in a grade 1 and 2 classroom. The pictures are large enough that all students can easily see the picture and the words that go with it. She’s made symbols for regular daily activities, as well as special occasion activities such as “special guest”, “assembly”, “field trip”, etc.īenefits: By using Boardmaker and making picture symbols for every activity, the teacher can easily sort through and put up the “Shape of the Day”. This teacher has created a 4×4 picture symbol image of every activity that her class does. You can see here that the picture symbols have been laminated so they will last longer. Image 2: Here is a close-up of the “Shape of the Day”. By knowing what to expect next, most students will experience smoother transitions between activity changes. Along with the picture symbols, there is also corresponding text. These pictures give students the predictability they require each day, and they’re visually accessible (placed at eye level and visible when they have carpet time). There is a line of Velcro attached to the wall, so that the picture symbols may easily be removed.īenefits: These 4×4 picture symbols from Boardmaker are an excellent visual for all of students. The student with autism takes great pride in removing each activity as the day progresses. The teacher feels it is best she put up the schedule in the morning, as to let students know that she is in charge of the plan for the day. Every morning the teacher puts up the daily schedule.
