Visual Schedule Pocket Chart (105 Cards) | NDIS Routine Support

Facilitate communication, ease transitions, and build independence with the Visual Schedule Pocket Chart. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this comprehensive routine board is designed to support NDIS participants (children and teens) living with Autism (ASD), ADHD, Speech Delays, or Executive Dysfunction.

For many participants, verbal instructions disappear quickly from working memory, leading to frustration and anxiety. This pocket chart utilizes the principles of Picture Exchange Communication Systems (PECS) to create a static, visual reference of the day. By organizing 105 durable visual cards into a linear timeline, it transforms abstract time and expectations into concrete, manageable steps. This system is essential for non-verbal participants to express needs and for all users to mentally prepare for transitions, significantly reducing the likelihood of behavioural dysregulation.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Enhancing Receptive Language: Provides a visual backup to verbal instructions, helping children with auditory processing differences understand exactly what is expected of them.

• Reducing Transition Anxiety: Visualizing the sequence of events (e.g., "First School, Then Park") provides predictability, which lowers cortisol levels and reduces stress during daily changes.

• Building Independence: Allows the participant to check their own schedule and anticipate the next task without needing constant verbal prompting from carers, fostering self-management skills.

• Supporting Executive Function: The integrated storage pocket and structured layout teach organizational skills and help participants keep track of their visual tools.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extensive 105-Card Library: Includes 87 distinct activity cards (Chores, Outings, Hygiene), 13 header/topic cards, and 5 blank cards for customization, ensuring the system adapts to any family's unique routine.

• Versatile Mounting Options: Features reinforced magnetic strips for direct attachment to fridges and metal surfaces, plus heavy-duty metal hooks for hanging over doors or on walls.

• Integrated Storage Solution: A specialized yellow pocket at the base of the chart allows for the secure storage of unused cards, preventing loss and keeping the environment clutter-free.

• Durable & Sensory Friendly: The chart is crafted from robust nylon, and the cards are made from waterproof PVC, designed to withstand daily handling by children who may be rough with materials.

• Inclusive Design: The clear, universal illustrations are suitable for non-readers and non-verbal children, serving as a critical bridge for communication.
