What is inside

What a pack contains

The same set of four sheets for every sequence, because a routine is not installed the same way at every stage of learning.

The morning routine strip, to put on the wall.
01

The routine strip

A4 landscape, to put on the wall at child height and where the action happens. One box per step, with its number and label.

The progress chart for the morning routine, one line per step.
02

The progress chart

One line per step, one tick box. It shows what is mastered and what still needs support.

The cut-out cards for the morning routine, with their cut marks.
03

The cut-out cards

To handle, sort, or build the sequence with the child rather than handing it over finished. Cut marks included.

The blank version of the morning routine, boxes to fill in.
04

The blank version

The same template with empty boxes, to stick in your own photos: the child's own toothbrush, their bag, their bedroom.

The colour code

A code that survives the photocopier

Borders follow the Fitzgerald code, the convention used in augmentative and alternative communication. Colour carries the nature of the word, before the child even reads the label.

  • Object

    A noun: the toothbrush, the school bag.

  • Action

    A verb: to wash, to tidy, to leave.

  • Emotion

    What the child feels, and the social.

  • Time, place

    Morning, school, the bathroom.

Colour version
The same sheet in black and white: borders are told apart by their pattern.
Black and white version

The black and white version

It is not the colour version turned to greyscale. In print, a green and a red would become two identical greys and the colour code would vanish. Borders are therefore told apart by their pattern: solid for an object, hatched for an action, dotted for an emotion. Solid fills are removed and outlines thickened.

How to use them

Setting up a routine without adding another chore

The full parent guide is included in every pack. Here is the gist.

  1. One sequence at a time

    Pick the moment of the day that gets stuck the most. One routine that sticks beats four on the wall. The others can wait two or three weeks.

  2. At child height, where the action happens

    The tooth-brushing strip belongs above the sink, not on the fridge. If the sequence spans two rooms, cut the strip in two.

  3. Together, then alongside, then from a distance

    Name each step with the exact words printed on the sheet. Identical wording matters as much as the images. Then step back and point only to the next step.

  4. Fade the support in small steps

    Physical help first, then pointing, then speech, then the sheet itself. Only fade after several successful days, and restore the previous level if things slip.

Frequently asked questions

Before you print

01.What paper should I use?

Plain paper is fine to start. For a strip that will live in a bathroom for months, print on heavier paper and slip it into a plastic sleeve, or run wide tape along the edges.

02.Is the black and white version really cheaper to print?

Yes. Colour fills are removed, pictograms are reduced to line art and the background stays white. The Fitzgerald colour code is replaced by a border pattern, which keeps it readable even on a photocopy.

03.From what age?

As soon as a child recognises an image and links it to an action. The fine-grained hygiene packs suit children who need to see every single gesture; the other packs stay useful for longer.

04.Can I use them in class or in practice?

Yes. The sheets are free to use at home, in class and in practice, and you may photocopy them as much as you need for your pupils or patients. One limit only: the packs stay free. You may print them, photocopy them and pass them on to colleagues or families, but not sell them, bundle them into a paid course or product, or redistribute them modified or under another name.

05.Why is this free?

Because these sheets are how people discover the app. The pictograms are Evotonomia's own library. If the paper routines help, the app turns them into missions with a timer and progress tracking.

06.Will there be more packs?

A new pack comes out every month. The next one covers helping at home: setting the table, homework, tidying up. This page is updated with each release.

The same routines, as interactive missions

Evotonomia turns these sequences into an app where the child ticks their own steps, with a timer, points and progress tracking. No ads, no subscription, a single purchase. The app works entirely offline and no data leaves the device.
