I’d like to tell you about an app called First Then Visual Schedule HD (FTVS HD). The cost is $15 and it is available today in the app store. This app is best used for anyone who would benefit from a visual schedule, social story, choice board, or video models. What I love about the app is that it is not only easy to use, but it also works across multiple platforms including your iPhone and iPad.

It’s also great because it is so easily customized. Need a choice scenario for milk or juice? Quickly snap a pic of each right from your own refrigerator so it’s accurate right down to the brand. You can also record your own voice, or your child’s voice right in the app to make it even more immersive.

There are many visual schedule apps available but this one is the best I’ve come across. You can try it before you buy it by checking out the iPad at the Westlake Porter Library for free. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!
