One page, in three steps
A schedule works best when it is short enough to read at a glance.
- Pick a routineMorning, after school, and bedtime presets give you a ready sequence. Change any step to match your own day.
- Name each stepKeep labels to a few words a child can recognize, and choose an icon that matches the action.
- Print or savePreview the page, then print it or download a PDF. The paper size you select is used for both.
Using the page at home
Cards for younger children
The two-column card layout gives each step a larger picture. Point to the current card, then move a marker along as the routine progresses.
A list for busy mornings
The list layout fits the same eight steps in a single column, which reads quickly when everyone is getting ready at once.
Make it together
Let the child choose some icons or wording. A schedule they helped build is easier to recognize later.
Print once, reuse daily
Laminate the page or slip it into a plastic sleeve and mark steps with a dry-erase pen instead of printing every day.
Questions about the schedule maker
Where is my schedule saved?
Only in this browser tab. There is no account and no server copy. Download the PDF or print the page before you close the tab, because reloading starts fresh.
Do I need the BrightTrace app?
No. The schedule maker is a complete browser tool. The optional iPhone app is for keeping everyday observations over time.
Which paper should I choose?
Choose A4 if that is what your printer holds; choose US Letter for 8.5 × 11 inch paper. The same choice sets the PDF page and the print page size.
Will the text be sharp in the PDF?
The PDF is drawn in your browser at 216 dpi, so Chinese and English labels print cleanly. The page is an image, so its text cannot be selected. Use Print if you need browser text rendering.
Can I use fewer or more than eight steps?
A schedule needs at least one step and holds up to eight. For a longer day, make a second page rather than crowding the first.
Is this a treatment or therapy tool?
No. It is a simple way to show the order of everyday steps. It does not diagnose, treat, or measure anything, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
Also on iPhone
BrightTrace for iPhone keeps everyday observations — meals, sleep, routines, and positive moments — in one private log. The website tools work on their own and do not require the app.
