Weekly Calendar Visual Aid

Make the week easier to understand, one day at a time.

The Included Education Weekly Visual Calendar is a practical visual support designed to help children understand what is happening throughout their week.

For children who find changes, transitions or uncertainty challenging, seeing their activities represented visually can make the week feel more predictable and easier to navigate. Instead of repeatedly asking what's happening next or what's coming up, children can refer to their calendar and access that information independently.

With a range of colourful visual symbols covering everyday activities, school, appointments, outings and more, you can create a personalised weekly schedule that reflects your child's individual routine.

It's ideal for use at home, school, therapy settings or with support workers, and can be displayed somewhere your child can easily see and refer to it throughout the day.

Who Is It For?

This visual calendar can be particularly useful for children with additional needs, autism, ADHD, communication difficulties or those who benefit from visual supports, but visual schedules can be helpful for many children.

It's also a practical resource for parents, teachers, therapists and support workers looking for an easy way to make weekly routines more visible and predictable.

How It Can Help

Visual schedules give children a concrete way to understand information that can otherwise be difficult to process when it's communicated verbally. By seeing the week laid out in front of them, children can begin to develop a clearer understanding of what is happening, what is coming next and what they can expect.

The calendar can also be used to prepare children for changes to their usual routine. For example, adding a visual for a doctor's appointment, birthday party, excursion or special event can help introduce the idea of something different happening that week.
