Lesson Plan

Visual Calm Toolkit Lesson Plan

Empower parents to implement simple visual tools—calm-down cards, visual schedules, and behavior cues—to foster calm, predictable routines and support children’s self-regulation at home.

Visual supports increase predictability, reduce meltdowns, and promote independence. Equipping parents with ready-to-use visuals and hands-on practice boosts consistency and confidence in managing challenging behaviors.
