School Now & Next Starter Bundle | Visual Routine Support for Autism, ADHD & SEN

Helping children feel confident about what comes next

For many neurodivergent children, the school day is full of transitions. Arriving at school, moving between lessons, changing activities or simply not knowing what happens next can all feel overwhelming.

The School Now & Next Starter Bundle provides simple, visual support to help children understand what they're doing now and what comes next, making daily routines feel more predictable and reducing anxiety around transitions.

Designed for use at school, nursery or at home, this durable visual schedule system helps children prepare for the day ahead while encouraging independence, communication and confidence. Compatible with the wider SEN Talk Tags visual schedule range, it's designed to be practical, portable and easy to adapt as routines change.

💜 Why Thrive Recommends It

At Thrive Creations, we only recommend products that we genuinely believe could make life a little easier for SEN families.

As both a former remedial teacher and SEN parent, I know how much calmer a child's day can feel when they know what's coming next. Something as simple as seeing today's routine visually can reduce uncertainty, ease transitions and help children feel more secure in unfamiliar situations.

Visual schedules aren't about removing flexibility - they're about giving children the confidence to navigate change with greater understanding.
