picks pulled from nhs speech therapy + ot visual support guides, the raising children network (which rates visual supports as “established”) and beyondautism. the big ideas are simple: show what's first and what comes next, make time something you can see, and offer choices with pictures instead of words. a few of these are printables you laminate yourself, so the board leans on cheap and fixable. i've flagged anything that ticks, beeps or lights up. nothing here is magic, it's just scaffolding for the moments that tip over (:
