• Start by placing a visual representation of the current activity (using a predefined series of pictures) in the "working items" section at the bottom of the board.
• Upon completion of an activity, tap the next scheduled activity, moving its picture to the "working for" section and updating the board with a new image for the subsequent activity.
By sequencing tasks—starting with a less preferred activity followed by a more enjoyable one, like doing math before computer time—the board also boosts motivation.
A visual working board is an effective tool to alleviate anxiety during scheduled tasks.
The board is a straightforward, two-part tool that communicates to children their current activity and what they will do next.
