✔ Uses pictures and short text

 


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
