Day Plans
See the whole day at a glance. Day Plans help individuals with autism and developmental disabilities understand what's happening throughout the day, reducing anxiety about transitions and providing predictability.
What is a Day Plan?
A Day Plan is a visual overview of the entire day's activities. Unlike step-by-step routines that focus on completing tasks now, Day Plans show the bigger picture—helping answer "What's happening today?" and "What comes after this?"
Why Day Plans Help
- Reduce anxiety by showing what to expect throughout the day
- Make transitions smoother by previewing what comes next
- Keep focus on the present by minimizing completed activities
- Support flexibility with templates for different day types

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a Day Plan different from a Visual Schedule?
Visual Schedules focus on completing tasks step-by-step (like a morning routine). Day Plans show the bigger picture of the entire day—what's happening now, what's next, and what's already done. They help reduce anxiety about transitions throughout the day.
Can I create templates for different types of days?
Yes! You can save any day plan as a template. Common templates include School Day, Weekend, Holiday, and custom categories. Apply a template to quickly set up a new day.
How do I mark activities as done?
Simply tap an activity to mark it complete. Completed activities are minimized or hidden to keep focus on what's current and upcoming.
Can I use my own photos in Day Plans?
With Premium, you can take photos using your device camera or select images from your photo library to personalize activities.
