Description
Summary:Inspired by PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) concept, I created an instructional schedule. It is a schedule where you have the title of the activity and a set of instructions on how to do that particular activity. Through this set of instruction, the instructional schedule is very self-explanatory and that makes it easier to understand. This schedule could improve their social behaviour by building up their self-discipline and the ability to follow instruction. It could also improve their communication skills through the usage of visual that will eventually improve the frequency and quality of the communication.
