Community Outing Planning Checklist
A premium planning checklist so outings feel intentional — not improvised. Use it the night before or the morning of any community trip.
01
Before we go
- Where are we going?
- How long will we stay?
- What are possible triggers?
- What does my child need to be successful?
- What visuals should I bring?
- What sensory supports should I bring?
- What reinforcers or comfort items should I pack?
- What is our exit plan?
02
During the outing
- Watch for early signs of distress
- Offer communication support
- Reduce unnecessary language
- Use visuals
- Offer break options
- Display the Parent Support Sign if helpful
- Prioritize safety and dignity
03
After the outing
- What went well?
- What was hard?
- What should we change next time?
- Do we need support from the clinical team?
