Personalised Visual Supports for Children, Teenagers And Adults
Support communication, routines, independence and everyday life with a personalised Now • Next •Later Board designed around individual needs.
Our custom 3D printed visual schedule boards help children, teenagers and adults understand what is happening now, what is happening next, and what will happen later. Breaking activities into smaller, predictable steps can help reduce anxiety, support transitions and encourage independence across home, school, therapy and community settings.
Designed by our Queensland family using the same visual supports with our own children, these boards combine lived experience with professional disability knowledge to create practical supports that families actually use every day.

What Is a Now • Next • Later Board?
A Now • Next • Later Board is a visual support tool that helps children, teenagers and adults understand what is happening throughout their day by breaking activities into three simple steps:
✔ Now – What is happening right now
✔ Next – What will happen after the current activity
✔ Later – What will happen afterwards
Using a visual schedule can help make daily routines more predictable, support communication, and reduce uncertainty during transitions. Visual supports are commonly used at home, in schools, childcare settings, therapy sessions, workplaces and throughout the community.
Example
NOW → Reading
NEXT → Snack Break
LATER → iPad Time
Seeing what is happening next can help individuals feel more prepared, confident and supported throughout their day.
