AAC Classroom Transition Support Tips
- • Prompting Hierarchy: Use the least intrusive prompt necessary (Visual → Verbal → Gesture → Direct physical guidance) when directing a student to update their desk schedule.
- • Immediate Reinforcement: Pair moving the schedule card to "Done" with immediate positive verbal praise to establish positive independent transition routines.

What is a Visual Schedule?

A visual schedule shows our day in human-action pictures!
Look closely at the figures on each card. They show a clear action (like writing, reading, gym, or taking a break) so you always know what to do next!
