Visual timetableHow to use ?

The pack is split into 4 sections:

The visual timetable pack can be used with our communication passports, which help young members with autism and learning disabilities to tell you all about themselves. The passports can be downloaded on our website - go to Girlguiding.org.uk and search ‘communication passports’.

FeelingsThe feelings cards can be used by young people who are unable, or not confident to tell you how they feel so that they can ask for support or explain their behaviour. They can be kept where the girls can access them and handed to the leader as needed.

Meeting structureThese cards can be used to show girls what is happening now, next and later in the meeting. Attach them to the wall, or a visible surface, and place the programme or special event cards underneath so girls can see the structure of the meeting. Cards, like ‘stop’ can be shown to girls as needed during a meeting or placed with programme cards to give more information.

ProgrammeThe programme cards show girls what they will be doing during a unit meeting. There are general cards, such as activity, and more guiding specific cards. Place these under the meeting structure cards to show when during meetings things will be happening.

Special eventsThese cards are designed to show girls about special events that happen in guiding, such as residentials, World Thinking Day or Promise ceremonies. They contain a picture that can help explain an event and show girls what to expect.
