Light Up Check List

A light up check list was recommended by our occupational therapist for our neurodivergent kids.

Having the lights to turn off offers an incentive to comeplete routines/tasks.

Colored Celloophane (optional) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VRX8MYY

Step 1: Prepare Lights/Board

Prepare Lights for mounting on the dry erase boards.

(Optional) If making colored lights, cut cellophane to fit inside the light lids. I used 2-3 layers per light.

Measure where each light will go on the board. I was using 5 lights so I spaced them equally on the left side of the board.

Step 2: Mark Off Separate Task Lines

Mark lines across the board to divide the sections.

I used my cricut to cut strips to lay across the boards.

Step 3: Mount Lights

Mount lights on the left hand side of the board in a column.

Step 4: Add Instructions

Add instructions next to each light.

I used my cricut to make the sentences. Before those were complete I just used the dry erase markers to write on them.

Step 5: Add Mounting Supplies

Put magnets on the back of the board if desired. Alternative is 3M Velcro strips.

Step 6: Use for Routines

Our OT recommended starting with the lights on and our kids have to turn off the lights off as they complete their tasks.
