My Now and Next – Now and Next Board with 45 Picture Cards (A4 + US Letter)

Changes are easier when your child can see what’s happening now and what comes next. My Now and Next is a big Now and Next board, take-along strips and 45 picture cards for home, school and days out. Made by a dad for his own autistic, ADHD son.

What you get (instant download, 8 pages)

• A big Now and Next board with a Finished label
• 2 Now and Next strips to take out with you, and 2 more Finished labels
• 2 Now, Next and Then strips for longer stretches
• 45 picture cards (52 mm): at home, out and about, school, play and calm
• 3 blank cards you can type on before printing
• A one-page set-up guide with tips

How it works

• Before a change, put what’s happening now on the left and what comes next on the right.
• Say it simply: “Now lunch, next play time.”
• When Now is done, its card goes in the Finished pocket and Next moves across.

Two editions

UK A4 and US Letter PDFs, both in your download, with UK and US words. Print at 100% on thin card (cardstock), laminate, cut along the thick blue borders and add hook-and-loop dots.

Works with the rest of the shop

The cards are the same 52 mm size as all our kits, so they fit every board in the shop.
