Space Themed Working Towards Board

An ASD “working towards” board (often called a “working for” board or token board) is a visual support tool used with autistic children to show them what reward or preferred activity they will earn after completing a specific task or behavior.

How It Works

• The Goal / Reward: The child looks at a picture, symbol, or object representing a motivating reward they have chosen (such as playing with bubbles, having screen time, or getting a snack).
• The Steps / Tokens: As the child works through a task or shows a desired behavior, they earn visual pieces—such as stars, checkmarks, or velcro tokens—placed onto the board one by one.
• The Connection: The board turns an abstract expectation into a concrete visual map, helping the child understand the link between finishing a hard task and receiving the reward.
