having a well thought out visual schedule helps provide a sense of predictability and comfort. Use pictures, symbols or written words to outline the home to school routine. We love our home to school routine communication fan. It contains 14 colourful and clear symbols to help you explain the routine.  You can also use a Now & Next board with symbols to show what’s going to happen next.  Breaking the routine down into small chunks can be hugely beneficial in easing the transition.
