Visual schedule for learners with autism and neurodivergent profiles

A step-by-step sequence of actions with pictures: dressing, morning routine, going to the store. Reduces anxiety from the unexpected, trains independence in everyday life.

Part of the TalkAndLearn platform. Works alongside the communicator — same cards, same account, same group with a specialist.

Why a visual schedule helps

Predictability reduces anxiety

The learner sees what comes next and doesn't get lost in the unknown. Fewer meltdowns when switching between tasks.

Step-by-step independence

First with a prompt, then without — the learner learns to perform a chain of actions on their own.

Skill consolidation

The same schedule day after day forms stable daily habits and routines.

Ready-made schedules

How it works

1
Create a set

In the group admin, open "Visual schedule" → "New set". Give it a name (e.g., "Morning").

2
Add steps

Each step is a card with a picture and label. Use the same cards as in the communicator, or create new ones.

3
Run it with the learner

Open the set in view mode. The learner sees the current step large, can mark it done, and move to the next.

4
Prompts and fading

Over time, fade the prompts: the learner performs steps from memory, the schedule opens only when stuck.

Who it's for
Families of learners with autism and neurodivergent profiles
Speech therapists and ABA specialists
School tutors and educators
Adults with executive function difficulties

Common questions about the schedule

A visual schedule is pictorial and step-by-step. The learner sees a large picture of the current step and understands what to do right now. This works where a text list is useless — for non-verbal learners and in stressful moments.

Yes. The schedule and the communicator share cards. The "Toothbrush" card from the communicator easily fits into the morning schedule. This is especially convenient when synchronizing between several adults around the learner.

No, the schedule works in the free local mode. Pro is only needed if you want to sync schedules between devices or work together with a specialist in a single group.

Yes. Each step has a duration setting. A visual timer shows the learner how much time is left — this reduces frustration about "why haven't we finished yet".

Start with a short 2-3 step schedule of pleasant activities (favorite game, snack). After each completion — a reward. Once the habit of following the schedule is established, add harder steps. Details in the help section video tutorials.
