Welcome to Schedule Builder, a flexible tool that helps clients build routines, increase independence, and stay on track throughout their day!

To get started, click the Add New button in the bottom left corner of the toolbar.  First, give your schedule a name and click Save. Once your schedule is created, you're ready to start building.

Click Add Task to create your first step. Here, you can give the task a name and add any notes or reminders that might help your client complete it successfully.

Next, choose an icon that best represents the task. You can select from our library of built-in icons or upload your own custom icons. Any icons you upload will be saved, making them available anytime you create future tasks.

You also have the option to add time settings to each task.

If you choose Duration, you can specify how long the task should take. You can also enable an on-screen timer that clients can use while completing the activity.

If you choose Time, you can assign a specific start time, such as 8:15 AM. This is perfect for creating time-based schedules where each task happens at a designated time throughout the day.

Once you've finished setting up the task, click Save. Repeat this process until your schedule is complete.

Whenever your client is ready to use their schedule, they can click Start My Routine in the top right corner.

During the routine, the current task is displayed prominently in the center of the screen, while the upcoming task appears to the right, allowing clients to see what's coming next without becoming distracted.

If you've enabled a timer for a task, it will appear on screen and can be started as needed. When the client finishes a task, simply click the checkmark to move to the next step in the routine.

After completing the entire schedule, you can use it again at any time by clicking Start Over, which will reset the routine.

You can create as many schedules as you'd like for different parts of the day for your clients. From the toolbar, you can also reorder, rename, download, or delete any particular schedule.

Schedule Builder is a simple but powerful way to create personalized visual routines that promote independence, improve organization, and help clients successfully navigate daily activities.
