Looking for materials for sequencing? I’m rounding up the month with a few of my favorites online resources and apps.
Here are some of the resources that I used when I was doing virtual therapy. I really liked using Quia-their jeopardy style game was a big favorite in therapy. (and an awesome way to take data at progress report time.)
Are you familiar with Quia? It is a subscription service which allows you to create your own therapy games and activities. It was a life saver for me when I was doing virtual therapy. My favorite was the Jeopardy style games that they had. Super helpful for data collection right before progress reports were due and a hit with my students. If you have a SMART board in your room-I’d try to invest in this. You can also access games that are created by other Speech language pathologists by searching Quia + whatever topic you would like.
Quia has some great resources for sequencing. This is better for readers. Put the sequences in the correct order and a picture will appear. Check out these pages:
The Turtle Diaries has a number sequencing and story sequencing game:
Crickweb is a UK site which has several sequencing activities.
Apps
I like using apps to work on sequencing because straight up sequencing cards can get a little boring. I love it when you put the cards in order and then a little video is played. So motivating for my clients. In no particular order, here are the sequencing apps I’ve got on my iPad.
Speech with Milo: Sequencing by Doonan Software
This was my first app for sequencing. Put the three pictures in order and a movie of Milo plays. It contains 36 different three step sequences (like baking a cake or waking up.) The cartoon and illustrations are great for younger clients and students.
Making Sequences Zorten Software
This app has 15 different sequences using real pictures ranging from 3 to 5 steps. You have options to listen to the story first and then arrange the pictures.
Advanced Video Sequences Zorten Software
I just purchased this app-but one of the cool things is that it allows you to take videos and then separate them into steps. I plan on having some of my clients complete simple routine tasks (ex. brushing their teeth) and then use the app to separate them into 3-4 steps.
iSequences by Fundacion Planeta Imaginario :
This app contains over 100 sequences with sequences sorted by beginning and advanced levels ranging from 3-4 pictures. The pictures are cartoon drawings. After each sequence, there is a follow up question-for example, “What will happen next?” or “How did _____ feel?”
Sequencing Tasks: Life Skills by Judy Lynn Software:
This app is newer to me as well. It’s designed for life skills and would be appropriate for older students who need practice with basic tasks of daily living. It contains 7 sequences of real life people. There is a lite version that features hand washing. The app shows a video, and then you sequence the pictures.
Tense Builder by Mobile Education Store:
This app wasn’t marketed directly for sequencing-but it works on tense markers and provides direct teaching within the app if students get the answers wrong. It contains quite a few three step videos many of which have a “funnier” or unexpected ending making it really motivating for my clients.
Sequences for Autism: Ed Ninja:
This app contains 16 sequences for activities of daily living with cartoon drawings. There is a puzzle piece which makes it a little easier for some students. After you sequence the picture a story plays showing the picture cards.

Hi,
Thanks for the great write ups of Making Sequences and Advanced Video Sequences. We try very hard to make useful engaging apps for all of our teachers, students and therapists.
We did notice that you misspelled our company name in one of the mentions. If it would be possible, could you change it to Zorten? This helps to let our users find our apps quickly.
We appreciate your blog and please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
Regards,
Elizabeth Kineyko, M.S. CCC-SLP
