Visual routines for the classroom
Short answer
How teachers use Tandli
- Consistent visual routines for classroom transitions
- First-then structure for self-regulation
- Life-skills and independence goals (IEP-aligned)
- Task-analysed activities you can adapt per student
- A calm, low-sensory interface for the sensory-sensitive
- Routines that carry over between school and home
Structure that reduces friction
Predictability is regulation. Presenting one step at a time — with a picture, a short prompt, and a clear “what’s next” — reduces the cognitive load of transitions and helps students act independently rather than waiting for a prompt.

Consistency between school and home
When a routine looks and sounds the same everywhere, students generalise skills faster. Share the approach with families — a parent can record the same steps in their voice at home. See Tandli for parents.
Frequently asked questions
Can Tandli be used in a special-education classroom?
Yes. Tandli’s visual schedules and first-then structure suit self-contained and inclusion settings, and the low-sensory design helps sensory-sensitive students stay regulated.
Does it support IEP goals?
Tandli is well-suited to independence, self-help, and daily-living-skills goals. It’s an educational support tool, not a clinical or assessment instrument.
Can routines follow a student home?
Because a parent can record steps in their own voice, the same routine structure can be mirrored at home for consistency between settings.
