Magnetic Visual Schedule Board | NDIS Executive Function Aid

Reduce cognitive load and combat "time blindness" with this Dual-Function Visual Planning & Communication Board. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this organisational tool is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or memory impairments who require external visual cues to manage their daily routine.

Internalising a schedule can be a source of significant anxiety and executive dysfunction. This board serves as an external "working memory," allowing participants to visualise the month ahead, track appointments, and keep essential physical documents (like scripts or permission slips) in one central location. By combining a dry-erase calendar with a corkboard, it creates a "Command Centre" that promotes independence, fosters better communication with support workers, and provides the structure needed to navigate daily life with confidence.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Supporting Executive Function: Externalises the mental burden of remembering dates and tasks, freeing up cognitive energy for other daily living activities.

• Mitigating Time Blindness: The monthly layout allows participants to visually "see" the passage of time and upcoming deadlines, which is often a challenge for those with ADHD.

• Reducing Anxiety: Provides a predictable, visual structure of the week/month, helping to alleviate anxiety associated with the unknown or unexpected changes in routine.

• Centralised Communication: Acts as a shared reference point for participants, family members, and support workers to ensure everyone is aligned on the schedule and care plan.

Key Features & Benefits

• Hybrid 2-in-1 Design: Combines a magnetic whiteboard calendar for scheduling with a self-healing corkboard for pinning hard-copy reminders, offering a complete organisational solution.

• High-Contrast Visibility: The tinplate printing technology ensures grid lines remain sharp and clear, aiding visual tracking for those with visual processing differences.

• Self-Healing Cork: High-density cork material recovers after pin removal, ensuring the board remains durable and aesthetically pleasing despite frequent use.
