A learner with whom I work uses a picture schedule to depict his daily events. The problem is that when the activities change at all it upsets him. What can be done so that he isn’t as rigid about the schedule?

In setting up a schedule, it is important to implement some minor changes. With many learners when minor schedule changes are initiated it is helpful to make sure that the change involves increased reinforcement. For example, having the learner pick up a snack on the way to homework. This is a schedule change, but benefits the learner.
