Actualmente, las agendas personales son utilizadas en la intervención educativa en niños con Trastorno del Espectro Autista dada la necesidad de utilizar claves visuales con este alumnado. Constituyen un recurso imprescindible ya que los alumnos con TEA presentan problemas para secuenciar el tiempo, dificultad para entender órdenes orales, déficit de atención, etc. Las agendas personales facilitan la flexibilidad mental y favorecen la independencia. Estos horarios y agendas deben ser claramente visuales y adaptadas a cada nivel de capacidad para ayudar a la persona a diferenciar, anticipar y predecir actividades.Nowadays, personal agendas are used when dealing with students affected by disorder in the autism spectrum due to the need of using visual keys with them.
