Classroom Visual Schedule Cards and Station Labels for Autism and Special Education

Description

Give your special education or autism classroom visual schedule cards that every student can follow. This set includes large whole-class schedule cards, color-coded station cards to label your centers, and matching small visuals for individual student picture schedules, so your routine looks the same everywhere students look. Students move through transitions more independently, and your paras and subs always know what’s next. It also includes a First/Then board, clock visuals, a door sign, and editable text on many of the cards.

Who this is for

• Autistic support, life skills, and emotional support classrooms
• Early childhood and PreK rooms that run on centers
• Resource rooms with groups rotating in and out
• Gen ed teachers supporting a student who uses a visual schedule
• New special education teachers setting up a room for the first time
• Homeschool families building a predictable routine at home

Why special education teachers love it

• More independence. Matching visuals help students find their next activity and station without waiting for an adult.
• Smoother transitions. Students can see what’s coming next, which takes a lot of the surprise out of moving from one activity to another.
• Your whole team is on the same page. Paras and subs can follow the day from the wall instead of asking you mid-lesson.
• Easy color coding. Station cards come in 10 colors to match bins, tables, or rotation groups.
• Made to fit your room. Editable text on many of the cards lets you use the words your students already know.
• Useful all year. Set it up for back to school, then pull it out again for a mid-year reset when schedules change.

• 10 schedule title cards (Monday Schedule, Our Schedule, Today We Will, and more)
