FirstThen What is the Purpose? To visually teach the concept of time, order of activities, and multiple steps. How Do I Use It?

  1. Begin teaching this tool by using preferred activities or interests.
  2. Identify which activity/event will come first, and the activity which follows. ○ Depending on the individual’s needs, you may use written word, pictures, or picture symbols to represent the activity.Start teaching this skill by identifying 2 preferred activities, or having the ‘then’ activity be preferred. ○ Once the individual understands the concept of using a first/then and trusts that the events will occur, less preferred activities may be used and it can be transitioned to a schedule based communication tool.
  3. Practice showing individual to look at the first/then board for reference to when they will have a preferred activity or what will occur in that moment. Put the current activity in the ‘first’ box. Put the next activity immediately following the current activity in the ‘then’ box.
  4. When it is time for the current activity to be complete, refer to the first/then board, remove the activity in the ‘first’ box, say “(current activity) is all done”. Move the activity in the ‘then’ box to the ‘first’ box. Say “Time for (next activity)”.

Schedule What Is the Purpose? To visually teach the concept of time, order of activities. How Do I Use It?

  1. Identify the time frame the schedule will represent (specific activity, morning/afternoon, day, week, month, year).
  2. Identify the order of events that will occur. ○ Depending on the individual’s needs, you may use written word, pictures, or picture symbols to represent the activity.
  3. Practice showing individual to look at the schedule for reference for what the day/time frame will look like. Review the order of scheduled events at the beginning of each time frame, and when the scheduled event changes.
  4. Plan for how to represent when the scheduled activity will be complete (crossed off, moved to a ‘finished/all done’ location, etc.). Sample
