Build smoother transitions and reduce resistance
When Beckham was younger, transitions at school were tough. Moving from one subject to another, switching teachers, or ending a preferred activity often led to stress and pushback.
His teacher and I worked together to find something that made those moments easier: a visual that showed him what was happening now and what was coming next.
That’s where the First, Then Board | School came in. It gave Beckham a predictable structure and helped him stay calm through changes. Instead of constant reminders, he could simply look at the board and know what to expect.
Now this same tool supports classrooms, therapy rooms, and resource settings everywhere. It helps students who need visual structure understand the plan, move more smoothly between activities, and feel confident about what’s next.
| Feeling this? | Imagine this instead: |
| ❌ Transitions between subjects cause stress or shutdowns | ✅ Students see what’s next and stay regulated |
| ❌ Students need repeated reminders of expectations | ✅ The board provides consistent visual reminders |
| ❌ Motivation drops when the next task feels unclear | ✅ “I am working for…” tokens keep students engaged |
| ❌ Laminated visuals take too long to prep | ✅ Reusable design that adjusts instantly |
| ❌ Classroom plans fall apart when schedules change | ✅ Changes feel manageable, not chaotic |
