Move Outside
Leaving the safe indoors for the open outside means changing pace, clothes and place all at once, and that slows getting going. With pictures taking one step at a time, the way out feels less abrupt. The steps are below.
♀Go outside

♀Walking outdoors

About this visual support
The step from the couch to the yard is not a single step but several at the same time. The pace has to lift, the body has to be dressed, and the place changes from the structured indoors to the open outside. All of it happens in one jump, and for many children it is exactly that simultaneity that keeps them inside even when they really want to go out.
Visual support breaks the leap into parts that can be taken one at a time. Put on shoes, find the jacket, open the door, step out into the yard. When the transition is visible as several short steps, the child does not have to switch everything at once but can start with the first and let the rest follow.
One concrete tip: make the last picture something the child wants to do outside, like a stick to look for or a swing, so the row points toward something inviting and not just the door. That makes it easier to get going. If you want to gather dressing and the way out into one sequence, you can build it in the Routined app and let the child follow it all the way from the couch.
