Can visual schedules created in Ambiki be used for teletherapy?
Yes! You can use visual schedules that you create right inside the teletherapy platform. Find the therapist's toolbar at the bottom right hand corner of the teletherapy screen. The visual schedule icon looks like four boxes with three checks. Don't worry if your toolbar looks a little bit different, it will adjust depending on the size of your screen.

Yes! You can use visual schedules that you create right inside the teletherapy platform. Find the therapist's toolbar at the bottom right hand corner of the teletherapy screen. The visual schedule icon looks like four boxes with three checks. Don't worry if your toolbar looks a little bit different, it will adjust depending on the size of your screen.
After you click on the visual schedule icon, a sidebar will pop up on the left hand side of the screen. Note that your patients cannot see the visual schedule until you choose to share with them. You will see the visual schedules you have created at the top of the list, and then some suggested visual schedules made public by other therapists will follow. Select the visual schedule you want to use, or you can use the search bar to find another one. Once you click on the schedule, it will show up in your sidebar.
How do you show the visual schedule to your session's participants?
Once you have selected a visual schedule, you will then be able to share it with your patients. At the top of the visual schedule, you will see a button that looks like a play button with a box around it. Select that button to make the schedule visual to everyone. Note that even if you close the visual schedule sidebar on your end as the therapist, you will need to select 'stop sharing' to stop sharing the schedule with the participants. The visual schedule will be visible on their screen until you select 'stop sharing'.
You can also adjust the settings of the visual schedule from here, including the template of the schedule (first-then, timer, image reveal, etc.). Read more about the different ways to customize the visual schedule here: Ambiki Help - Creating a Visual Schedule In Ambiki .
Can I make the visual schedule visual to only some participants in a group teletherapy session?
Yes, you can select the 'manage patient's button (next to the 'show to participants button'), and select which patients you want to be able to view the visual schedule. If you add patients to the list, they will be able to see the schedule. If you take them off of the list, they should not be able to view it.
What if I need to hide the visual schedule because I need space on my screen to present materials/do other things?
If you click on the visual schedule button on the toolbar, the visual schedule will be removed from your view. If you click on it again, it will pull the schedule back up in the same way you left it. You can toggle the view of the visual schedule on and off for yourself as the therapist so that you have more space on your computer screen.
