Support smoother after-school transitions with this Free Afternoon Routine Checklist, created for children and teens with an Autism diagnosis, and anyone who benefits from visual structure, predictable routines, and simple step-by-step supports.
 
This one-page checklist breaks afternoon time into clear, manageable tasks such as snack time, learning time, play, outdoor time, chores, and calm-down breaks. Children can check off each step as they complete it, helping build independence, routine awareness, and self-confidence while reducing overwhelm and repeated reminders.
 
The checklist works well after school, during homeschool days, on therapy days, or anytime your child benefits from a calm, consistent afternoon rhythm. This resource was created by a caregiver who understands how unpredictable afternoons can feel after a busy day, and how the right structure can make the rest of the day calmer for the whole family.
