You never want to introduce a new support or strategy for the first time during a difficult moment. When we do use a support like this when your child is in a state of overwhelm, it should be a support that the child is familiar with, they’ve experienced success when using it in the last, and they know exactly how to interact with it. If we try to introduce a new support when your child is already feeling overwhelmed, we are only going to add to the overwhelm and likely escalate the situation. A difficult moment is never going to be the time to introduce and teach something new ❤️ The communication boards shown in this video are part of the “visual schedule bundle” on my website.
