This listing is for a school timetable flip book and matching set of school activity cards. It has a page for each day of the school week and boxes that represent a part of the school day. Teachers can stick the day’s row of activities in order, onto the timetable. This timetable was designed with children on the Autism Spectrum in mind, as they often like to know what their day is going to look like and find a visual reference point very helpful. Rather than having to look up at the board all the time to find out what is happening during the day, laminating this timetable and binding it or placing it into a folder that that can see from their seat, will enable them to find the reassurance they need, without disrupting their work by leaving their desk. It’s designed for children in junior to middle primary (elementary) school. Thank you for shopping at LittlePeopleLove! I hope you enjoy your products and find them both lovely to look at and supportive of the special little people in your life! Kate xx
