Visual Timetables
Theme One: Setting Up for Success
Focus: Understanding individual needs and personalising support
A visual timetable uses pictures, photos, or symbols to represent daily activities or the sequence of steps within a single activity. They provide a clear, predictable structure that helps individuals understand what is happening, what comes next, and what has already been completed.
