A visual schedule is a set of pictures that communicates a series of activities or the steps of a specific activity.
It does this by showing an individual with autism what activities will occur and in what sequence.
There is some limited evidence to show that visual schedules may provide positive benefits to some individuals with autism spectrum disorders by allowing them to predict or understand upcoming events.
This may allow them to reduce problem behaviours and increase their independence.
