A Free Mr Potato Visual Support Step by Step Schedule to Support Autistic Students to Follow the Step by Step Construction and Deconstruction.

Free visual schedules commonly support routines such as mornings, evenings, school preparation, toileting, hygiene, transitions, and emotional regulation. Many are designed to be flexible and adaptable, recognising that there is no single “correct” way to structure a day. What matters most is that the schedule reflects the individual’s needs, pace, sensory profile, and lived experience.

The Free Brush Teeth Visual Schedule is a neuroaffirmative visual support designed to bring clarity, predictability, and autonomy to daily toothbrushing routines. The schedule uses a clear weekly layout with morning and night options, allowing children to visually track when toothbrushing happens across the week rather than relying on repeated verbal prompts

The School Morning Visual Schedule is a free downloadable resource designed to support Autistic children and neurodivergent learners through the morning routine in a clear, respectful, and neuroaffirmative way. The resource provides structured visual sequencing for common morning activities such as waking up, washing, getting dressed, eating breakfast, and preparing to leave for school. Multiple visual options and blank schedule templates allow families and educators to personalise the routine in a way that reflects the child’s needs, pace, and preferences

This free Visual Supports Bumper Resource has been made available on Little Puddins to support Autistic people, their families, and the professionals who work alongside them. The resource was originally written and shared in 2019 and continues to be offered freely as part of an ongoing commitment to accessible, neuroaffirmative supports.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, therapist, or an Autistic individual yourself, these supports can be invaluable in reducing uncertainty, supporting self-advocacy, and enhancing independence.

To make high-quality, neuroaffirmative resources more accessible, I have created a FREE Visual Support Guide, available for instant download. This guide includes professionally designed visual supports that can be printed, laminated, and used in a variety of settings.

Visual supports are one of the most effective and evidence-informed ways to support Autistic children and young people across home, school, and community environments. They provide clarity, reduce uncertainty, and support understanding in ways that spoken language alone often cannot.

This blog post is accompanied by a free visual resource titled “Why Use Visual Supports?”, which expands on the principles discussed here and can be used as a reference tool for parents, educators, and professionals supporting Autistic learners.

This free Autism visual schedule has been designed to support Autistic children and teens across both home and school contexts, offering a flexible, low-demand way to increase predictability and felt safety throughout the day.
