Скачать или смотреть Visual Schedule for Autism: How this Tool STOPPED Meltdowns!

This one tool—a simple visual schedule—was the most important strategy we used to improve communication and reduce meltdowns for my autistic daughter. This video shares exactly how we use this book and why visual aids are so essential for children with autism or speech delays.

As a mother to an autistic child, I know the heartbreak of seeing your daughter struggle to express her needs [00:30]. When she experienced a communication regression between ages two and three [00:44], meltdowns became severe because she couldn't communicate [01:23].

This video breaks down the visual schedule process, which provides the necessary structure and routine [02:12] that helps autistic kids process their day.

In this practical guide, I demonstrate how we use the book for:

Creating sequence of events for daily tasks (like getting ready for preschool) [02:37].

Using the "All Done" cubby to check off completed steps [03:36].

The importance of using pictures of real places (like Costco) and people (like Dad) [01:47].

I share specific materials needed—a laminator, a small binder, and Velcro—and explain why less words and more visual communication are crucial [05:31]. This is a must-watch for any autism mom or caregiver looking for practical, proven nonverbal autism strategies.

P.S. This video is a bit different from my usual backcountry life content, but I felt this resource was too important not to share.
