Home Base Visual Tool

Home Base is a printable visual support designed to help learners feel more comfortable being apart from important items while knowing they can return to them later.

By making “for now” visible, the tool helps support regulation, predictability, and emotional awareness during temporary separation from comfort items or meaningful belongings.

Home Base may be used at home, in classrooms, therapy spaces, or other shared environments where learners benefit from clear and supportive return points.

Home Base Includes:

• Printable Home Base visuals
• Black-and-white and color options
• Letter-size printable PDF files
• Flexible setup options for different spaces and routines

The tool helps create more manageable and supported transitions by making separation feel visible and temporary.
