INSTRUCTIONS AND VISUAL SCHEDULES

Fostering independence and confidence for the individual

Clear visual instructions and schedules create structure, reduce stress, and increase independence by helping individuals understand what to do and what will happen next — without relying on constant staff guidance.

Instructions using images, video, audio, and symbols enable the individual to complete tasks independently, without relatives or staff needing to guide every step

Reduces dependency on specific staff
Work tasks and routines are documented visually, making it easier for substitutes and new staff to work in the same way as regular staff.

Provides security and structure in everyday life
Clear visual steps reduce stress, misunderstandings, and anxiety for the individual.

Saves time
When instructions are documented, staff do not need to repeat the same explanations every day, and the individual receives consistent guidance and support — regardless of who is on duty.

Structure in everyday life – What happened yesterday, what’s happening today, and what’s coming tomorrow?

PictureMyLife is a digital support tool for individuals with, for example, autism, who need clarity, visual support, and strengthened communication. Using images, pictograms, photos, text, and audio, it creates structure and predictability, making everyday life more understandable and reducing stress.

Clear schedules and preparation for activities help the individual understand what will happen, while the tool also makes it easier to express thoughts and feelings. PictureMyLife can be used at home, in school, and in care settings, and is always tailored to the individual’s needs for a safer, more independent, and meaningful everyday life.
