The Picture Classroom Schedule

As a classroom teacher, it is imperative for students with learning disabilities to gain some independence. One way of this being done is to develop a photo picture schedule. You will need to take a photo of each activity with the student being in the photo. In the past, I have used a binder to put photos inside if a student is also attending a regular education classroom.

You can also put the photo picture schedule on a wall near the student's desk or onto the desk itself. Prior to making the photo picture schedule, it is important to write out the daily activities for each day. Like I mentioned in the previous post, you can also label the picture, so the student is pairing the visual with the written language. Some teachers will lay out the photos from top to bottom accordingly from the first activity to the last or across.
