Routines

Visual routines for everyday transitions.

Luma helps parents show concrete steps before and during daily routines, reducing the amount of spoken instruction a child has to process at once.

Six polished starter routines in V1

Essential routine templates stay free. Parents can also create custom routines with starter cards and their own custom cards.

Washroom Simple bathroom steps with a clear finished card.
Brushing teeth Toothpaste, brush teeth, rinse, and finished.
Getting dressed Concrete clothing steps parents can show in order.
Bedtime Calm evening sequence ending with sleep.
Leaving home Prepare, shoes, coat, bag, and go.
Snack or mealtime Food-related cards for requesting and finishing.

Use the same order

Repeating the same visual order helps the child see what is happening now and what comes next. Parents can show the full sequence, move through it in order, and keep the same steps consistent across days.

Make routines personal

A custom routine can combine Luma starter cards with a family photo, a parent-recorded word, or a card created for a specific school, toy, place, or caregiver.

Parent tip

Keep routine steps concrete and repeatable. If a step cannot be shown easily, split it into a smaller action or use a familiar photo.
