How it works
-
Print and cut
Print at 100% on thin card, laminate if you can, and cut along the thick borders. Hook-and-loop dots let the cards move.
-
Set out today’s steps
Put three or four cards on the board, in order. Add more as your child gets used to it.
-
Move each card to Finished
When a step is done, its card goes in the Finished pocket, so your child can see how much of the morning is left.

Made by a dad, for his son
I made these for my own son, who is autistic and has ADHD: picture cards and boards that show him each part of the day, one step at a time. Our mornings got calmer, so I’m sharing them.
Every kit uses the same 52 mm cards, the same clear pictures and a font made for early readers, so a card from one kit fits the board from another. They’re everyday planning tools for home and school, not therapy.
Questions
What do I get?
A PDF download in two editions, UK A4 and US Letter, with UK and US words (toilet or bathroom, jumper or sweater). You print it at home or at a print shop.
What else do I need?
A printer, thin card and scissors. A laminator and hook-and-loop dots make the cards last and let them move on and off the board, but they’re optional.
Who are they for?
Children who find it easier to follow a picture than a spoken instruction, including many autistic and ADHD children. Older children often like the blank cards with their own words.
Can I use them in school?
Yes, with your own class or your own children. Please don’t share or resell the files.
Etsy or Payhip?
Same files, same price. Payhip doesn’t need an account. Etsy is handy if you already shop there; Etsy adds VAT for UK buyers.
Can I get a refund?
Digital downloads can’t be returned, but if anything is wrong, email hello@littleregulatedlife.com and I’ll sort it.
Is this therapy?
No. It’s an everyday visual planning tool, not a therapy or medical product.
