Communication Skills Training

 Visual Scheduling

During the practical, my friend Rayhel had a problem with her client. Her client had audio issues in which he unable to speak and listen. Every time during therapy session, she needed to prompts her client to initiate and complete the task given. However, some of the task, he able to complete independently. 

Since the client did not learn any sign language, my friend came up with an idea of visual scheduling. This tool will help the client to understand the task that he need to do first and so on. Once he completed the task, the pictures will be remove from the board. In some cases, client was allowed to arrange the activities that he wanted to do.

This tool not only be use for child with audio problem but other children with behavior issues or difficulties in following instruction. This visual schedule also can be use as a structured activity for children with behavioral problem or difficulties in following instruction. Hope it helpful
