Methodology
Visual supports are highly effective, proven tools for improving communication between children and caregivers. Calendars are challenging for children to grasp initially due to the abstract concept of time, months, weeks and days. They are also time consuming for caregivers to setup and maintain. Choiceworks Calendar addresses all of these challenges. For caregivers, it provides a streamlined interface for creating, customizing, sharing and maintaining a calendar of upcoming events. For the child, it provides visual, audio and video supports that make using the calendar an enjoyable learning experience.
Children gain independence and personal responsibility by seeing helpful information such as which days are school days and which days are not. They also benefit by being informed of upcoming events such as a doctor’s appointment or celebrating a birthday. This clear, simple support provided ahead of time can help a child predict what is going to happen, thereby reducing anxiety. It helps children understand when there is a change in the routine so they can learn to adapt, become more flexible and better behaved. The information is always visible on the calendar and the child can refer to it as often as needed.
Helpful Tips
Simple: When first implementing Choiceworks Calendar, the calendar should be kept simple and be geared toward the child. By reviewing the calendar each day, the child will learn the days of the week, rote counting, number identification and components of the daily, weekly, and monthly schedule.
Visuals: Put images or videos on the calendar that describe the most important activities of the day. Again, keep it simple. Only include what is important for the child on the calendar. Start small and gradually increase the amount of information presented as the child begins to understand the passage of time.
Advance: As success with Choiceworks Calendar increases, visually plan out big projects and indicate deadlines for science projects, writing assignments, etc. Chunk larger projects into smaller, manageable steps that the child can complete each day. This will focus attention to the current task and lessen anxiety and distraction to other portions of project.
