Daily Routines
Here is a selection of visual daily routines that we do every day. They can help ease transitions giving predictability and safety, guiding a child through a routine and helping build independence skills.
Transitions Throughout the Day
A presentation by Shona MacPherson from the Pines Speech and Language Therapy Team. Shona gives an overview of transitions during the day and how you can help a child or young person move between activities. This includes things such as transitioning from home to school, and outside to inside. Shona gives an understanding of why transition can be difficult for neurodivergent children and has lots of advice and ideas to help parents and professionals.
