This updated and expanded edition of Activity Schedules explains how children with autism can use activity schedules to increase independent behavior in every aspect of their daily lives. Based on twenty years of research and well established ABA methods, activity schedules are a sequential set of pictures or words that cue a person with autism to engage in a specific task with minimal assistance.

Sample activities range from preparing an after-school snack to getting dressed to building a puzzle – the possibilities are endless. The book provides detailed instructions and examples for preparing a child’s first schedule, and then progressing to more varied and sophisticated schedules.
