First-Then Board FAQ

How does a first-then board work?

It shows two steps clearly: the first expected action and the next preferred or follow-up activity.

Can I print multiple first-then pairs?

Yes. Add pairs as tasks, choose the first-then board layout, and print the page or task cards.

Can I use it with a visual schedule?

Yes. A first-then board is useful for short transitions, while a full visual schedule shows the whole day or routine.
