About our free calm-down scale maker

Our free calm-down scale maker builds a printable, personalized classroom visual in minutes. Pick a picture and a label for each card — choose from our built-in icon library, search photos, or upload your own — then print it for free, in English or Spanish.

Visual supports like schedules, First/Then boards, and token boards help students with autism, ADHD, and other learning differences understand expectations, handle transitions, and stay motivated. Teachers, special educators, therapists, and parents use them every day at school and at home.
