Design quick and effective planners.

Use the simple software to create clear and easy to follow planners. This will support and enable change from one activity, or one lesson, to another.

Use the new Android App.

The new development of the Android App means that students will be able to access AutiPlan on a ‘mobile’ basis. It will provide an indication when the next planned activity is due to start and will also provide visual cues.

Create simple templates.

In a few easy steps, clear planners can be created. The templates are then saved and can be amended for another day. A range of different templates can be created so that planning for students each day is a snap.

Choose from many clear pictograms.

Using the visual aid of one of the many pre-loaded pictograms will support understanding of the current task.

Upload your own pictograms.

The software easily enables you to use your own pictograms in the form of a photo or other picture or symbol. Within an educational environment, it may be particularly useful to use photos of the different teachers to reinforce the concept of change.

Use analogue or digital clocks.

The choice of the two different kinds of clocks enables the most appropriate one to be chosen for each client. Using the visual support of a clock symbol within the planner will reinforce the concept of the completion of a task, or the end of a lesson.

Print out the planner.

Print out the planner, using one of the variety of pre-set formatting options. These options include the ability to print out a checkbox for each activity so that progress through the school day and varying lessons can clearly be seen.

Choose the most useful layout.

The planner can be designed using one of the many pre-set layouts. This lets you decide how big you want the planner to be and which type of clock to use. You can even have a checkbox to provide more detail, if required.

Customise your own layout.

If the right layout for your school or college doesn’t exist, then use the software to design a new one. This feature enables you to customise the elements of the planner that you would like to use and to save it as a template for future use.

Display the school logo.

AutiPlan lets you display your school or college logo at the top of the printed out planners.

Use PlanViewer.

Using this function turns AutiPlan into an interactive planner. It enables you to shows the current activity and the amount of time left till the activity ends. Within a school, this would be particularly useful in terms of reminding students how long it will be to the end of a lesson.

Create a portal for staff and parents.

The portal enables the school to give access to the planners to the parents. This will support consistency of planning and organisation between the home and school environments. It also enables schools to give access to the planners to older students themselves, whilst parents and staff are able to maintain an overview. This will support and encourage independence and time-management skills.
