The door visual checklist is exactly what my son needs! I’ve been using my own checklist too. Using these is a game changer!
I have purchased 3 times ordering different/more packs of reusable stickers to help my AuDHD brain complete tasks. I purchased 4 white boards and creates a massive schedule for the week, more optional but expected activities (daily, weekly, etc). Not only does it help me by allowing me to plan my day the evening before to prevent PDA from kicking in but it also allows my partner to see what I am doing and offer praise when deserved, encouragement when I am struggling, and compassion when I am suffering from other problems due to chronic conditions and can't do as much. It has become a focal point for conversion around tasks and how we can both help each other more.
Wishes:
1 - Resuable stickers are hard to peel. Even with nails I struggle to pick them off to move them. And if I am having a day of bad joint pain it makes it worse. They sell magnet versions but only with their boards. I would honestly pay more for the accessible factor to have magnets.
2 - Spoons/Anti-spoon pack
In needing to learn what my average energy limits are I needed to work backwards. I couldn't deal with starting a made up number. I found it more comfortable to work backwards. Do a task, judge what it cost me or added to me and calculate a number from there.
Using sticker blanks I created an anti-spoon block; pain scales [1-4, 5-7, 8-9, 10], body parts that regularly drain me due to pain, AuDHD symptoms [emotional dysregulation to time blindness], and other factors [Lack of Sleep, Stress, Low Social Battery, Doom Scroll].
Then a pack of 30-40printed spoons maybe with a + and - sticker, would be great for tracking.
3 - Geek Activities
Some of these may be on the activity sheet but I am making so many stickers because their just not available premade;
DnD &/or other TTRPG, Campaign Prep, Creative Writing, Worldbuilding, Outline Chapter, Co-Author Meeting, VR Fitness, VR Game, Video Game, Digital Art, Thumbnails, Traditional Art, Needlework Crafts, Sewing, Knitting, Adult Education, Class/Lesson - Art, Computer, Dance, Lit, Music Instrument, Voice... I'm sure I am missing some but I'll wrap it up here cause I think everyone gets the idea.
There will always be room for more ideas and types.
TL;DR
Worth the investment. 8/10
Needs more premade stickers and additional magnet style sans m&b tracker boards for accessible.
As the neurodivergent parent of a neurodivergent child, it doesn't take much for chaos to overpower connection. These cards are such an awesome tool to build into our routine!
I was desperately trying to find a swimming sticker and this is helpful! My daughter is 3 so the visuals are important. It would be great to have a train sticker and restaurant sticker added! Thank you
I ordered 5 to do lists and 2 calendars. They are helping alot with household management and distribution of work.
My husband and I took time to figure out how to start best using our chore charts and it's really helped motivate us since we've started. I've been sharing the website with friends and coworkers!
While I feel like the system is very helpful for myself (husband agrees), I do feel like I need each potential sticker to have its own designated magnet. I’ll be ordering additional magnets for that reason. I wish maybe those were a bit cheaper since now I’m adding $100 to my already $200 order, but it does help me. Let me be clear, I AM still going to order them. I do think they’re a nice size, shape, tactile, and uniform. I’ll let you know if I’m still using the system in a year and if it’s really helped. Currently loving the system and all it’s helped me accomplish recently
One of the best organizational systems I've ever used. Very flexible, allowed me and my husband to figure out the best way to tag team chores. It looks great on my fridge!
I am impressed by the system in general with a small issue of missing some obvious stickers. Like doctor appointment or hair appointment. I absolutely love the vinyl one for the door stuck to the window on the door and the stickers are resticking so far no problem. I would also make one for the pets that is wash beds. I would also recommend like a binder or something to put the stickers not being used currently right now they are just like stacked together and I need to figure out a good storage system for them. I can honestly say the bracelet will not be used. My husband has horrible ADHD but refuses to touch it. So good try
We have been using the visual schedule with our son who has issues with change and knowing what is coming next. I love it so much I’m getting some of the adults charts.
The affirmations have been such a great way to start our day. My daughter looks forward to choosing her affirmation for the day, and then seeing how it showed up throughout the day.
Love the systematic and visual approach! Very adaptable to your specific needs and focus areas! Beautiful product and every detail is very high quality!
For my neurodivergent family this is a great system. I am taking my time implementing it; I ordered quite a few different things and that made the whole process feel a bit overwhelming, but the fact that it's not an all-or-nothing system is making this work fine. I'm going to need to find some way to store extra stickers so I can find the ones I'm looking for, but again that's because I bought multiple sets at once and not an issue with this one set.
These thoughtfully designed magnets have been a game changer for our family, my boys love sliding their pieces over when they’ve done a task and it’s been really nice to have the list to point to instead of telling them all the stuff they have to do to get ready every morning. Just ordered a calendar as well and looking forward to trying that!
The division of chores and labor stickers were exactly what we needed!
I found Mighty & Bright listening to her interview on Tilt Parenting and thought the idea to help explain generally avoided situations like illness and death to children was so needed. I am special educator and no beginner with visual supports but the thought of putting together a system for my autistic son on my own was very daunting. I’m also type A and appreciate beauty and art so I kept getting stuck on the “look” of my visuals in my home. When I looked on the site I was so impressed with all the options! There is a visual for almost everything I needed and my son understood the meaning of most of the icons without needing to be taught! I got going right away and now he comes into the house and goes straight to his board to look at his schedule for the rest of the day/night. Thank you for them! We love them!
I'm really liking using this system. I have ADHD and 3 kids all school age and all neurodivergent. Getting something externalized so I can see it and also feeling the boost when moving a task to done has helped during those busy times of day. And even actually the not busy times where adrenaline isn't there to push you through some of the more mundane and boring tasks, these charts help to make it more fun and doable. Thank you!
I have followed Mighty + Bright on social media for awhile and wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy them. I’m here to tell you that it’s worth it! The visual schedule and division of labor has helped us as parents so much. We both can see what needs to be done and are communicating more about how we can support each other. If you’re someone that needs a visual calendar, it’s worth every penny!
