School
A school day is often heavier mentally than it looks. Lots of people, noise in the corridors, smells from the canteen and unspoken rules. The visual support below lets your child get familiar with the environment before the day begins.

About this visual support
School begins long before the child arrives at the gate. Their head is already running through images of the corridor, the gym hall, the canteen, and every detail that stays vague turns into a small worry. It is rarely the maths that drains them, but the environment around it – the volume, the bodies, the rules that nobody writes down.
Visual support breaks those parts apart. Classroom, break, changing room, going home each get a picture, and the day becomes a series of manageable sections rather than one solid block. Looking through the cards at the kitchen table lowers the threshold of walking in, because the child has already been there once in their mind.
A practical tip: go through the cards the evening before, not in the morning. The brain has time to settle on the information, and the morning does not need another briefing. In the Routined app you can build the school week with the same images, slip breaks and home time in between, and let the rhythm of the week become visible day by day.
