What is a visual schedule and how does it help autistic children?
A visual schedule shows the day as a sequence of pictures, so your child can see what is happening now and what comes next. When the day is predictable, there is less anxiety — and fewer hard moments around transitions. You can build one in minutes and print it for the wall or the fridge.
What is a First-Then board?
A First-Then board shows just two things: what we do first, and what comes after. "First brushing, then cartoon." It makes a task feel small and the reward feel certain — especially helpful for tasks your child resists.
How do I help my autistic child learn to wait?
Waiting is hard because it is invisible — there is nothing to see or hold. A Waiting Board makes waiting visible with a simple timer and picture, so your child knows waiting has a shape and an end. Start with very short waits and build up slowly.
What is a social story?
A social story prepares your child for a new or difficult situation — a wedding, a doctor visit, the first day of school — by walking through it in advance with simple words and pictures. When your child already knows what will happen, the real moment feels familiar instead of frightening.
Are these tools available in Hindi?
Yes. Every board and story can be built and printed in Hindi or English, and the whole app works in both languages.
