Past Event Cards
or “All Done” Card- Many non-verbal
children exhibit challenging behaviors to indicate that they are "all
done" with something, as they typically have no other way to communicate
this concept. Therefore, teaching a more appropriate way to indicate "all
done" through a visual representation system will lessen both the child's
and adult's stress and frustration. "All done" cards can be taped to
the child's work area and taught to the child by stopping an activity prior to
reaching the child's attention/frustration level, then pointing to the
"all done" card. The child's hand can be physically prompted to point
to the "all done" card if needed. "All done" cards can also
be placed on the child's communication board, or book, for him to use.
