  • Patent number: 7896652
    Abstract: One embodiment of a device that provides a means of displaying pictures that represent activities, or steps within an activity, for the purpose of teaching a sequence, displaying expectations, and encouraging participation in new or existing routines. The device is comprised of a board (FIG. 1) that is capable of displaying visual cues in the form of picture cards (FIG. 4A/B/C) in a plurality of interior channels. The pictures can be viewed from the front of the board (FIG. 1) and are moved from a ‘To Do’ column (9) to an ‘All Done’ column (7) as tasks or steps within a sequence are completed. The board (FIG. 1) is constructed in such a fashion as to create interior channels that allow the unimpeded passage of picture cards (FIG. 4A/B/C) through the entire interior of the board (FIG. 1). The picture cards (FIG. 4A/B/C) that pass through the channels are of a size that is slightly smaller than the interior dimensions to allow them to be inserted, slid across, and removed from the board (FIG. 1).
