Ok, it's time to tackle the next step in developing routines. Let's get started!
Step 2 involves making a list of all the steps within a schedule item. In the world of visual supports, this is often called a mini schedule. So let's look at some examples a completed mini schedule or routine.
In the first column, there is a combination of schedule items and behavior expectations. In the second column it just includes the components of the routine.
Routine in the bathroom in the morning
Routines can be posted in the room where they are completed.
Or they can be individual pictures on a velcro or magnet board.
It can be on a digital device.
It can be a routine that tells the adult what's been completed.
It can be a behavior routine.
It can be written on a white board in words.
Routines need to be visual so the child has a lasting reminder and can complete them independently without much adult support. It doesn't matter how the routines are displayed. The important thing is that it works for the child!
