My Winter Break Day: a visual schedule with a picture and a check box for wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed, play in the snow, eat lunch and play inside.

A day with no school can feel long and unpredictable. This winter break schedule keeps the anchors of the day (waking up, meals, getting dressed) and puts the new parts in between: play in the snow and play inside. Each step has a picture and a box to check off.

What it is

A home visual schedule for winter break, holiday break and snow days, for young children, autistic children and anyone who does better when they can see the day.

Why it works

Visual supports are an evidence-based practice for autistic children and teens, with studies showing gains in communication, behavior and daily routines.

  1. Go over the schedule together the night before or first thing in the morning.
