First Then Boards Autism Homeschool Visual Supports
First Then Boards for kids with autism and special education needs.
6 styles of board, each in 5 color options.
Use with photos, symbols, hand drawn pictures or words.
This strategy works by using a fun, motivating activity as a reinforcer for a less preferred task.
eg “First tidy up the toys, then we’ll do painting” or “First do reading, then do drawing”
It works best when your child is allowed to choose (within limits) what they would like the reinforcer activity to be.
Please note: If your child has a calming or relaxing activity or item which they use to soothe and regulate them self, do not put this activity in the ‘then’ box to make them earn it. That will only cause your child increased anxiety and distress.
Also, First/Then boards do not work with all kids as those with demand avoidance might view the “first” activity as too great a demand on them.
