Load/Unload Dishwasher
Loading and unloading are two opposite jobs, and the child is expected to switch between them. Where do you start? When is it done? The cards below keep the two directions apart so the task has visible edges.

About this visual support
What makes load-and-unload tricky is that the brain has to head in two opposite directions, usually in one breath. Unloading means moving from the machine to the cupboard. Loading means moving from the counter or table into the machine. Each one is logical on its own, but switching mid-flow turns the kitchen confusing, especially when the machine is half empty and half full at the same time.
The pictures here split the task into two separate sequences with a clear handover between them. The unload card marks that the machine is now empty before the load card even appears. That way the child is not juggling two open jobs but finishing one and starting another, which the body can actually follow.
A concrete idea: lay the cards in two rows on the kitchen table or counter, unload row on top, load row below, and flip a card as each step is done. When the top row is complete, the bottom one begins. In Routined you can save the whole sequence as a recurring after-dinner routine, so the order does not have to be rebuilt every time.
