Why the First/Then Board Is a Game Changer

Have you ever struggled with helping children stay on track and follow through with tasks? Whether it’s in the classroom or at home, we all face this challenge from time to time.

That’s where the First/Then Board comes in. This incredible tool is designed to provide visual support for children with autism and other developmental conditions. It uses a simple yet effective strategy of breaking tasks into manageable steps.

Here’s how it works:

1. First: Show a picture or write a description of the task your child or student needs to complete.
2. Then: Display a picture or write a description of a preferred activity or reward to reinforce the completion of the task.

By using this straightforward visual aid, you can help individuals maintain focus, follow instructions, and transition from one activity to another smoothly. It’s a game changer!
