Car Rider Line Dismissal Routine Visual Schedule Cards

About this resource

A posted, numbered sequence for the car rider line dismissal routine that comes with its own data. Most routine-sequence sets stop at the pictures; this one adds a completion log, a weekly roll-up and a phrase bank behind it, so a step that stops needing a prompt turns into a line on a page a case manager can bring to a meeting.

The Routine

• Car Rider Line Dismissal (5 steps) — line up, walk outside, wait to be called, walk to the car, get in the car

This routine starts once a student is lined up to leave the building and ends at the car door. It does not depict packing up inside the classroom — this store's separate Dismissal and Pack-Up Routine Visual Schedule Cards covers that — and it is not a bus routine: there is no bus stop, boarding or riding a bus here, which is the separate School Bus Routine Visual Schedule Cards. None of the three overlap or show the same moment. This file also does not depict or claim anything about buckling a seatbelt: no concrete, nameable picture for that specific act exists in either art set used here, and a district or family's own car-line and seatbelt practice gets a blank line on the hand-off page rather than a stated or depicted rule.

Every picture was chosen to be named in one word by a young child, in color AND in the black-and-white set: two people lining up, a door, an hourglass, a walking figure, a car. All five are checked for existence in both art sets and checked against their own Unicode name before use; none is reused — every card in this bank has its own distinct picture. Cards are 2 inches square.

The Strip

A quick-reference view of the whole routine in numbered order on one page, in color and in ink-saver, so the fixed order is visible at a glance without cutting anything apart. The number prints on every cut-apart card too, so a dropped or reshuffled set can always be put back in order.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the log, the roll-up, the family update page, the hand-off page and the blank cards, or print and use a pen. The card and strip pages print on cardstock or plain paper and cut along dashed lines. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document.

It is a posted, numbered picture sequence for one everyday routine, and a place to record whether each step needed help. It is not a car-line traffic or safety procedure, a behavior plan, or a program of any kind, and it promises no outcome. It carries no prompt hierarchy, fading schedule or mastery rule; how it is used with a student, and for how long, is what your team's plan says. The goal line and the criterion field are blanks for your district's own wording and your team's own number, and your district's own car-line procedure gets a blank line of its own on the hand-off page. The log counts one thing per step: whether help was needed, not what kind or in what order to remove it.

Who This Is For

Special education teachers, paraprofessionals and duty staff who teach everyday routine sequences to early, pre-reading or emerging-language students, case managers who need that teaching to show up as data, and the families who get the update sent home.

More In The Collection

This is part of the Visual Supports Collection, alongside Dismissal and Pack-Up Routine Visual Schedule Cards, School Bus Routine Visual Schedule Cards, and School Arrival Routine Visual Schedule Cards; more picture-card sets — routine strips, choice boards, calm-down cards — are being added to the collection regularly, all on the same cards-plus-data shape.
