Daily Routine Cue Cards
With school
just around the corner, it is time to establish a daily routine. Having a set and visible timetable for your child to view each morning, enables them to anticipate both regular and occasional activities scheduled for the
coming day.
Individuals
with autism usually experience anxiety when they don’t know what to expect or when
changes upset their daily routine. Creating a daily visual schedule can help decrease their anxiety level and offers a certain amount of predictability.
I created
these daily schedule cue cards with everyday activities and chores in mind,
along with flexible events such as a visit to the dentist, or a shopping trip.
I would
recommend setting up the next day’s schedule after your child has gone to bed.
You can post the cue cards on a corkboard, use Velcro strips, hang
them from a clothesline, or purchase a pocket chart with clear pockets.
Whatever method you choose, be sure the daily schedule is visible and easily accessible. Add hour and minutes for each cue card to help your child stay on track.
