Task Breakdown Builder
Make a free step-by-step visual for one task. Choose a routine, edit the picture steps, add your own photos if you want, then use it on screen or print it.
Create a free visual task analysis, picture checklist, or task breakdown for autism, ADHD, executive functioning, daily living skills, schoolwork, hygiene, and routines. Break one activity into clear visual steps instead of showing the whole day.
What task should we break into steps?
Pick the closest option. You can edit every step afterward.
Break one task into only the steps that are useful.
A visual task analysis breaks one activity into smaller actions using pictures and words. Start with the fewest steps that make the task clearer. Add detail only where the person gets stuck. The goal is useful support, not a perfect checklist.
Delete the steps your child already completes independently.
Use only the first three steps and finish the rest together.
Regulate first, then return when the task feels more possible.

Good to Know
How is this different from a visual schedule?
A visual schedule shows the order of activities. This builder shows the smaller actions inside one activity.
Can I use my own photos?
Yes. Open the picture section, select a step, then use the camera button beside that step.
What if my child still cannot do the task?
The task may be too detailed, too demanding, poorly timed, or your child may need regulation support first. Reduce the number of steps and support the rest together.
What is a visual task analysis?
A visual task analysis is a step-by-step picture or word guide for completing one activity, such as brushing teeth, getting dressed, packing a backpack, or taking a shower.
Is a task breakdown the same as a visual schedule?
They are related but different. A visual schedule usually shows the order of larger activities across a routine or day. A task breakdown shows the smaller steps inside one activity.
