2. Class Visual Schedule The “Class Visual Schedule” assists children with understanding teacher expectations and the class schedule. Have a routine established for “checking in” with the schedule throughout the day. Many teachers check the schedule during circle time(s) or during another large group activity such as a large group table time. The visuals are not numbered to allow for user flexibility. The pictures can be arranged, added to, or omitted according to the teacher’s needs. If your class calls an activity something different than what is provided on the picture, you can double click on the word to change the text label. Developmentally younger children may need a photograph version to understand the schedule. (For additional information see “How to Make a Visual Schedule”.) Some teachers may want to use the version provided as a model to create their own personalized visual schedule by photographing pictures in their environment. Pictures can be cut out, laminated, and placed on a strip of laminated cardstock or poster board to form a horizontal sequence of steps for the child to follow. As the class completes individual activities, the teacher can turn over the picture to indicate that the activity is “all done”. Lentini, R., Vaughn, B. J., & Fox, L. (2005).

Sample visuals created using pictures from Microsoft Clipart® and Boardmaker®

3. If your class calls an activity something other than what is currently available please feel free to make adaptations. You can double click on the word, located above the picture, to change the text label. Also, a blank template for 2x2 pictures or photographs has been provided on the last slide. If you would like to personalize pictures or make additional picture prompts, you can paste the pictures into the template and add text using the “text box” on the bottom tool bar. Print the pictures on cardstock (or printer paper glued to a manila folder for increased durability), cut them, laminate them, and place a piece of Velcro (rough side) on the back of each picture and a small sliver of Velcro on the front side above the text. Velcro on both sides allows the teacher to turn a picture over to communicate when an area is full or closed and still have it stick to the board. (Printing directions on slide 3) Attach pictures to a laminated piece of poster board or manila folder cut to size. The poster board should have strips of Velcro (the soft side) across the front (see photograph of sample). Some teachers find it useful to store the extra pictures in a “storage binder”. To create a “storage binder” using tabbed file folders, see photo sample below. To view photographs at a larger size, go to “view” on tool bar and then to “zoom”.

11. Arrival Mini Schedule The “Arrival Mini Schedule” assists children with understanding teacher expectations around arrival in the classroom. Arrival time can be chaotic, as children bottle neck at the door or roam around the room trying to figure out what to do or where to go. It is very helpful to have a routine established for children’s arrival and an activity for children to do so that they have something to occupy their “wait time” as adults talk to parents and/or assist children who may need help during arrival. The visuals are not numbered to allow for user flexibility. The pictures can be arranged or omitted according to the teacher’s needs. For developmentally younger children a photograph version is easier to understand. (For additional information see “How to Make a Visual Schedule”.) Some teachers may want to use the version provided as a model to create their own personalized mini schedule by photographing “arrival” pictures in their environment. Cut pictures out, laminate, and place on a laminated file folder to form a horizontal sequence of steps for the child to follow. If a child needs extra cueing, use a “First-Then Board” (See Visual Strategies folder on your CD for file on First-Then Board). Lentini, R., Vaughn, B. J., & Fox, L. (2005).

19. Centers Choice Board The “Centers Choice Board” assists children with understanding what activity areas are open during center time. The pictorial representation allows children to recall the various areas of choice and make a selection. Some children may need to carry the picture during the transition to the area of choice. Allowing a child to choose an area gives the child the opportunity to do an activity of preference, which may prevent problem behavior. If you limit the number of children in each center area or you only open designated areas, the board indicates to the child what is open or closed. If an area is closed, the child can watch you remove or turn that picture over to cue that he/she needs to make another choice. The visuals are not numbered to allow for user flexibility. For developmentally younger children, a photograph version is easier for the child to understand. Some teachers may want to use the version provided as a model to create their own personalized version by photographing pictures in their environment. Cut pictures out, laminate, and place on a strip of laminated cardstock (or file folder) to form a choice board. If you have a limit as to how many children can be in a center, the teacher can turn over the picture to indicate that the activity is “full” and no longer a choice and then prompt the child to make another center choice.

If you would like to personalize pictures or make additional picture prompts, you can paste the pictures into the template and add text using the “text box” on the bottom tool bar. Once you print the pictures on cardstock (printing directions on slide 4), cut them, laminate them, and place a piece of Velcro (rough side) on the back of each picture and a small sliver of a piece on the front side above the text. Velcro on both sides allows the teacher to turn a picture over to communicate when an area is full or closed and still have it stick to the board. Attach the picture to a laminated file folder. The folder (or board) should have strips of Velcro (the soft side) across the front (see photograph of sample). Some teachers find it useful to store the closed areas/extra pictures on the back of the file folder. Others may create a “storage binder” with tabbed file folders for picture storage (see photo sample of a storage binder in the “Class Visual Schedule” file).

28. Cue Cards Classroom directional cues can also be portable by placing visuals on a cue card ring Visual cue cards assist with teaching children what TO DO: routines, expectations, and new skills to replace problem behavior Make sure you have the child’s attention before directing/cueing Give the child an opportunity to respond Give only one directional cue at a time Follow through with positive acknowledgement Lentini, R., Vaughn, B.

Also, a blank template for pictures or photographs has been provided on the last slide. If you would like to personalize pictures or make additional picture prompts, you can paste the pictures into the template and add text using the “text box” on the bottom tool bar. Once you print the pictures on cardstock (or printer paper glued to a manila folder for increased durability), cut them and laminate them. For the “key ring” cues (see photograph below), simply punch holes in the corners of the picture cues you would like to use and attach them to the key ring. The key ring can then be worn on the teacher’s wrist with a coiled bracelet for quick access when individually prompting children. Printing directions are on slides 3. To store the extra pictures, simply attach them to a spare key ring and place the ring onto your “storage binder” (see “Class Visual Schedule” file for photo example of storage binder).

39. First-Then Boards First-Then Boards give children clear expectations and help motivate and assist with task completion. Place a picture of the activity or activities the child needs to complete under “first”. Place a picture of the rewarding or preferred activity under “then.” The First-Then format allows the child to focus on the current activity and rewarding activity without distraction. Assembly Directions: Print First-Then Board on Colored Paper and attach to a file folder with the words “First-Then” along the folded edge of the file folder. Teachers can use pictures for the First-Then Boards as needed. Pictures are located in the following files on your CD: “Class Visual Schedule”, “Center Choice Boards”, “Mini Schedule Arrival” and “Cue Cards”.

42. Wash Hands Activity Visual Cue There are two versions of the “Wash Hands Activity Visual Cue”. The first version (slides 3 and 4) uses real photographs and the second (slide 5) uses line drawings to represent the steps of washing hands. For developmentally younger children the photograph version is much easier to understand. Some teachers may want to use the photograph version as a model to create their own personalized version by photographing pictures in their environment. Assembly Directions: If you are using the “photograph version”, print on cardstock paper (see print directions on next page). Then photographs can be cut out, laminated, and placed on strips of a laminated file folder that’s cut in half (or poster board) to form a horizontal sequence of steps for the child to follow. You will need to put the (soft) Velcro on the file folder strips and the (rough) Velcro on the front and back of the individual photographs. If helpful, the child can turn over the picture after completing each step of the sequence to indicate activity completion. The photographs can also be easily removed and shown to the child directly for individual prompting. If you are using the “clip art” version for washing hands, print only slide 5, laminate and post. You can point to the picture steps to cue the child. Lentini, R., Vaughn, B. J., & Fox, L. (2005). Teaching Tools for Young Children with Challenging Behavior.

48. Potty Visual The “Potty Visual” is for use with children who are having difficulty with going potty independently. It is intended for use in the bathroom. Post in the bathroom, at the child’s level, for easy use and prompting. When teaching the child to go potty, the teacher can verbally and visually prompt the individual steps by either pointing to the pictorial step or by removing the picture and showing it directly to the child. Assembly Directions: Print on cardstock paper (or printer paper glued to a manila folder to increase durability), laminate and post. You can point to the picture steps to cue the child. If you need to remove pictures to cue the child, you will need to cut the pictures into individual cues before laminating. Then Velcro the pictures to a strip of laminated poster board or a file folder. Please note, some children may need actual pictures of themselves and their bathrooms. Photographs can be used in the same manner as the visuals that are provided. See next page for “printing directions”. Lentini, R., Vaughn, B. J., & Fox, L. (2005).
