Each step has:
-
a simple picture
-
very short text
This helps people with:
-
dyslexia
-
learning disabilities
-
autism
-
anxiety
-
communication difficulties
✔ Predictability reduces anxiety
Knowing the order of events helps people feel calmer.
For example:
Instead of worrying about the unknown, they can see:
“First this happens… then this happens…”
✔ Positive ending
The “Get treat ⭐” at the end is clever.
This is often used in:
-
autism support
-
pediatric care
-
behavioural support
It creates a reward and positive association with visiting the doctor.
One small improvement (from an accessibility point of view)
If we were improving it for adult accessibility training, we might:
-
change “Get treated” → “Appointment finished” or “You can go home.”
-
make text slightly larger
-
Add colour contrast
Overall, it’s a strong example of an Easy Read.
Why is this useful for your training
You could include it in a slide titled:
“Visual Schedules Help People Understand Appointments.”
Then explain that visual schedules are commonly used in:
-
healthcare
-
schools
-
disability support services
-
autism support
