Visual support FAQ
Is this only for special education classrooms?
No. These tools can be used at home, homeschool, preschool, daycare, therapy sessions, general classrooms, and special education settings.
What is the difference between a visual schedule and a first-then board?
A visual schedule shows several steps across part of a day or routine. A first-then board focuses on two steps: what happens first and what happens next.
Can I edit the words and cards?
Yes. Open the related generator, change the task names, choose a layout, then print or save the page as PDF.
