This is where files of all the recordings created within the application are saved.

Press within the rectangle to add a title to the schedule. Next, add an image to the title of the schedule by choosing one from the stock images, Image Library, Google, or Camera. Then, press the "+" button to choose an image for each of the steps. After that, add a caption by pressing within the rectangle and typing on the keyboard. Finally, add a sound from the stock sounds or record a sound. To record a sound, press the "Record" button. Then, press "Stop" and "Play" if you want to hear the sound played back.

What I Like About This Application:
- There are so many pre-installed images on this application that it is easy to set up a schedule!
- You can record your voice to go along with the images on the schedule for students who have difficulty reading.
- Images and text make the application easy to follow for students who need visuals.
- You can add your own images to visual schedules unique to your clients.
- You can save multiple schedules to the application for future use.
- It would be great if there were already recordings for pre-installed images for creating a schedule.
- Visual Schedule - Visual schedules are perfect for children with anxiety and who have an autism spectrum disorder. Visual schedules make transitions easier to manage and it is easier to understand what is coming up next.
- Sequencing - Discuss steps to complete a task using this application. You can also discuss the sequence of events within the student's day.
First Then Visual Schedule is available for the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad for $9.99!
