Calendar Systems
Overview
Calendar systems provide a structured way in which to refer to events in a child’s day. Sometimes called “Anticipation Boxes” or “Object Calendars”, a series of meaningful symbols are arranged in sequential order to let the child know what will happen next. Calendars also provide a way to make clear the beginning, middle, and end of an activity, as well as time concepts, such as before, after, later, and now.
