SchKIDules 2-in-1 Home Bundle Visual Schedule: Daily Kids Calendar and Weekly Responsibility Chart All in One; 18" Trifold Magnetic Board, 72 Activity Magnets and 57 Accessory Magnets

Speech therapist recommended we make or purchase a visual schedule for our son (who is just under 3) and diagnosed with autism. It has been a huge lifesaver in helping him understand what we are doing "next" and preventing big meltdowns as we try to transition from one activity to the next. Coupling this with a visual timer works wonders. I think it's a great value for the price. Initially, I sat on the decision to buy this for a long time. It looked expensive and I wasn't sure I'd get enough out of it. I have completely changed my mind on that. It comes with a vast assortment of activities--many of which are not relevant to us yet as our little one isn't in school at the moment--and extra markers for days of the week/time of day etc. For us, this is more like an investment for the future. Right now, we may only need to use about 10 activity cards and five little stars but there is almost something reassuring about having all those other things available for when they are needed down the road (and we are starting to understand that this is not a short-term solution but a long term one that will be needed for years). For anyone considering this for other reasons: - There are "chores" in here and "all done/star" indicators. It would make a great chore chart. Things like making bed, doing dishes, brushing teeth etc. - There are today/tomorrow tiles as well so you can help your kid prepare for tomorrow in an easy-to-understand way.

LOVE THIS! I cannot say enough good things about this product and to recommend it! It is strong and sturdy; the boards are thick and magnets are strong and stick very well. It’s a durable product that will obviously hold up to the demands of daily life, especially at a very reasonable cost (even our home ABA behavior therapist has noted how much she loves it and how reasonably priced it is!). My 8 y/o son who is on the autism spectrum and 4 y/o (typical development) both use it for morning and evening routines, as well as “simple” tasks such as # of bites at a meal. I love all the magnet options, the tri-fold and hanging versatility, (For tri fold I use both horizontally and vertically), and the fact I can use dry erase marker on it (I do this a lot when it’s a repetive task such as # of bites). Absolutely recommend for all types of kids to help with routines and independence!

Good quality.

We haven’t tried it with our son with autism yet but it came as described. It’s great quality, love all the magnets for different activities and I believe this is a wonderful visual tool for kids who need that little extra help. Very pleased with this purchase!

SchKIDules has truly come part of the daily routine in our household. It's been an amazing tool to help my toddlers maintain their independence while also establish a rhythm to their day, without any tears! I began using SchKIDules with my toddlers when they were around two and three years old. I am a stay-at-home Mom and most days, it was truly a power struggle just getting the kids dressed, eating breakfast or even brushing their teeth. That's when we started using SchKIDules. Each day, they get excited to actually SEE what we are doing instead of me telling them. We look at our visual schedule each morning and then as we switch to each activity throughout the day, I ask each of them to point to what's next. I saw a HUGE difference in my childrens' behavior. A few months later, my two-year-old daughter started having trouble communicating how she was feeling. Her immediate reaction was to cry about... EVERYTHING! I sat down and used the "I'm Feeling" and the emotional magnets and over the next few days she began to point to the picture of how she was feeling. This was a HUGE step for how she would develop in communicating how she felt. Today, my children are 4 and 5 years old and they continue to enjoy seeing the visual schedule for their day and now get excited to keep track of their chores on their SchKIDules chart every day.
