Schedule Board
The Schedule Board makes task completion easier and more fun! The schedule is paired with an 'all done' column to check off steps toward a motivating reward. Timers can be added to any task or activity to help children stay on track. The schedules are easy to edit and fully customizable. Once you have created a schedule, it is saved automatically.
Waiting Board
The Waiting Board teaches patience and waiting skills like taking turns and not interrupting. The user can begin by reading the built-in companion book, "When Do I Have to Wait?". Using the waiting board, the top picture indicates the reason why the child is waiting and a timer can be set to show how long the child will wait. The child can then choose a productive activity to do while waiting.
Feelings Board
The Feelings Board provides an incredible tool for helping children understand and express their emotions. The user can begin by reading the companion book, "When I Get Upset", to provide a clear example of how the child might recognize an emotion and choose a coping strategy. On the Feelings Board, you can then help the child indicate how they are feeling from a range of options, select a coping strategy, and then request a positive activity to help them feel better or re-engage with others.
