Work-Task Picture Strips: Job Skills Visual Supports, Ages 14 to 21

These student facing visual supports cover 8 common job tasks, each broken into 3 to 6 numbered steps with a picture box and a few words per step. On job sites a lot of students know how to do the task but lose their place halfway through. A short strip at the table, one step at a time, keeps them going without an adult standing next to them. These are built to be cut, laminated, and faded out as students learn the task.

• Cover and teacher how to page: print, laminate, cut, attach, and fade

• 8 picture strips, two per page: Clock In, Wash My Hands, Stock a Shelf, Wipe a Table, Sort the Mail, Bag Groceries, Restock Cups, and Clean My Workstation

• A blank strip template

• An I finished each step student self check sheet

Print, laminate, and cut the strips. Clip or Velcro them at the work table. Model one strip, then fade your prompts. Use the blank template for site specific tasks. Use the self check sheet so students mark each step.

These are not a story or a social narrative. They are step strips for one task at a time. They are not a full day visual schedule (my Visual Schedules for Middle and High School are the planner style day schedules). My Task Analysis Data Sheets are the staff data sibling. Use the strips with the student and the data sheets for your records. Part of the Social Narratives + Visual Supports family: student facing work task picture strips that pair with the social narratives series. Also available: FREE Social Narratives Sampler | Workplace + Transition (try five short pages before you buy a full set).
