The #1 visual schedule app for kids, ADHD, and autism. Easy routines, fun rewards. • Increase focus • Build good habits • Reduce anxiety • Stop meltdowns We made Lil Planner with parents and kids in mind: everything is big, easy to read, and easy to use. We also made it FUN -- fun enough to hold your attention AND theirs, hopefully long enough for you to make plans together. Great for: • Toddlers and preschoolers • ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent kids • Kids that have a hard time with transitions • Older kids and grownups that want a fun way to stay organized • Visual learners We originally created Lil Planner for our own family. Now we're excited to share it with other families. "Let's check our Lil Planner!" has become a daily refrain in our house. We think it will become one in yours, too.
