School Routine Visual Schedule
A full-day, 26-step visual schedule covering everything from waking up to coming home — organized into four clear parts (Before School, Going to School, In School, Going Home) so your autistic or neurodivergent child knows what's expected at every stage of the school day. (Sometimes called a school routine task analysis chart.)
A school routine visual schedule is a printable chart that maps out an entire school day in picture steps, so a child always knows what comes next. Our free visual routine covers all 26 steps across four parts — Before School, Going to School, In School, and Going Home — and works as a morning wall chart or inside any visual schedule template.

A Message From Parent to Parent ❤️
School mornings (and school days) have a lot of moving parts, and a single visual map of the whole routine takes so much of the guesswork and anxiety out of it — for your child, and honestly for you too. This is the same kind of structure that's helped us at home.
Pair this with our School & Learning Support guide for more on classroom routines and transitions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a school routine visual schedule?
It's a printable chart or visual routine that breaks the whole school day into picture steps — waking up, getting ready, the school day itself, and coming home — so a child can follow it independently.
Is this the same as a school routine task analysis chart?
Yes — "task analysis" is the ABA/therapy term for it. Most parents search for a visual schedule, visual routine, or printable chart; therapists and some teachers call the same thing a task analysis.
How do I use this visual routine with my child?
Print it and put it where your child gets ready in the morning. Point to or check off each step as it's completed, and use the "First, Then, Praise" reminder built into the chart to keep transitions calm.
Can I combine this with our existing visual schedule template?
Yes — this chart works well as a standalone morning/day poster or as one piece of a bigger visual schedule template, alongside resources like our Visual Schedule Templates Planner.
