Now Next Visual Routine Board

This Now Next Board is a simple visual support designed to help individuals understand transitions between activities.

For many autistic children and individuals with additional needs, moving from one activity to another can feel unpredictable. By showing what is happening now and what will happen next, routines become clearer and easier to follow.

Visual supports help reduce uncertainty and provide structure throughout the day.

How a Now Next Board Helps

The two-step format is simple and easy to understand:

Now → what is happening currently
Next → what will happen afterwards

This structure helps individuals prepare for the next activity and makes transitions feel more predictable.

Who This Board Is For

Parents, teachers and support workers use Now Next boards to support:

• autistic children
• individuals with SEN or SEND
• non-verbal communication
• ADHD routines
• classroom transitions
