Parents/Caregivers
Visual schedules can be a powerful tool for teaching essential skills like potty training/toilet training, especially for children with learning differences (e.g., autism). Many nonverbal children benefit more from visual instructions rather than verbal explanations.
This visual schedule breaks the process into simple steps to support independence. Some children may do best with both the pictures and written steps above, while others may benefit from just the visuals.
For best results:
- Introduce the schedule gradually.
- Use clear visual cues along with guidance and support as needed.
- Encourage and praise progress.
- Be patient—every child learns at their own pace!
