First-Then Board
|
Used to assist students with language and/or behavior needs complete specific tasks.
The student is to complete and finish the first prior to being able to do the second activity. Students benefit knowing exactly what is expected of them. In addition, by using pictures, the visual is there for the student to refer to even after the word is gone.

Go - Almost There - Stop
|
Some students are still developing their sense of time or work completion. They need help to understand how long “soon”, or “in a minute” really is without having to read a clock or when a task will be complete.

Pacing Board

Addresses
SPEAKING RATE: To encourage students to monitor their speaking rate, have the student tap a square as they say a word. This will make it difficult for them to "jumble" words together. This is usually the classic use for these strips in order to increase speaking fluency.
BREATHING: Teach appropriate breathing by instructing the student to tap out words as they speak and take a breath / inhale when they get the end of the strip (e.g., "Take a breath when you get to the star/happy face")
MLU: Expand sentences by encouraging students to get all the way to the target icon! For example, if your target sentence length is 3 words per utterance, use the strip containing 3 icons. Encourage the student to “get to the star/happy face
ENUNCIATION: Use these strips with hard to understand students (e.g., Down Syndrome). It helps them slow down their speech which in turn can improve intelligibility.
SYNTAX: You can also increase correct sentence structure by modeling correct sentences on a pacing board and having the student imitate.

Visual Schedule
|
Visual schedules are used to communicate a series of activities or the steps of a specific activity. Students may be helped to understand and manage their daily events. Schedules can be created using pictures, photographs, or written words, depending upon the ability of the student. Ideally, visual schedules are introduced with adult support that gradually decreases with time. |
