Go to therapy

A therapy room is built for the kind of talk that often feels heavy, with someone the child doesn't meet day to day. The cards below lower the threshold to walk in.

About this visual support

Going to therapy is different from other appointments. The person in the room is friendly but not family, and the subjects that need words are often the very ones the child wants to avoid. That makes the journey into the room worth keeping as predictable as possible, so the energy lasts for the conversation itself.

The visual schedule shows the whole arc: travel, wait, say hello, sit down in the room, talk or draw, say goodbye, travel home. Practical tip: walk through the cards in the car or on the bus on the way there, not first on arrival, so the child's nervous system is already settled when the door opens. Many therapists also welcome the child bringing their cards into the room.

The same structure can be saved between visits in the Routined app, which you can try for 14 days at no cost.
