Hi, I am not sure if this is the best place to put this or not, so I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place.
I homeschool my 9 year old son, and he has serious issues with executive functioning issues. My husband is a programmer and suggested a Kanban board, but he does Agile and so does not have direct experience with it. I looked it up and it seems like a good thing to try.
He long ago rejected the traditional PECS based board introduced in his pre-k class that was designed for autistic kids because he is hyperlexic and that is too picture-based and he interpreted it as being babyish not long after. Kanban would be better because it is used by adults for work. Also, he has a special interest in Japanese, and maybe I could translate the headings into Japanese, and he would like it even better.
I am trying to figure out how to organize it, and I have some questions. Do you think I should treat subject times as meetings, and if so how are meetings handled? Are meetings even put on a Kanban board? Do I just track all the tasks? How do I handle things that must be done in a sequential fashion?
Any advice on how to apply this would be appreciated. The kid-resources online for "personal" Kanban are not what I am looking for because they seem to basically be glorified chore charts and that is not what I want. I want it only for school work.
