Custom First Then Board for Kids










Custom First Then Board for Kids
Personalised First Then Visual Support Board | Velcro Tiles | Autism & ADHD Friendly
The First Then approach has been a game changer in our house.
Being able to see what needs to happen first, and what comes next, can make routines and transitions feel calmer and more predictable.
That’s exactly why I created these personalised First Then boards.
Designed to support routines, transitions and expectations, they help children understand what is happening now and what comes next.
And now there are two sizes to choose from!
Choose Your Size
Large – 21 x 15cm
Our original First Then board, perfect for home, school or therapy.
Small – 15 x 10cm
A more compact version designed for when you need visual supports on the go. Great for school yards, outings, appointments or anywhere you need something easy to carry.
Both sizes can also be made with a hole for attaching to a lanyard.
Lanyard not included.
What makes these boards special is that they are completely personalised for your child.
I work with you to make sure the images and wording are right for your child, because every child understands things a little differently.

Why First Then Boards Can Help
First Then boards are a simple visual support tool for children who benefit from clear expectations and knowing what is coming next, including children with:
• Autism
• ADHD
• Anxiety
• Speech and language delays
• Additional learning needs
By visually showing what needs to happen first, followed by what happens then, children can feel more prepared for transitions and changes throughout their day.
Designed With Real Family Experience
As a parent, I know how important it is that supports actually work in real life.
This is a tool we use every single day in our house, and it has helped bring more calm and clarity to our routines.
Every board is custom made, so it reflects your child, their routines and the things that are familiar to them.
Perfect For
• Home routines
• School and the school yard
• Therapy sessions
• Transitions between activities
• Outings and appointments
• Keeping visual supports close by when you're on the go
