What is Personal Hygiene?
Personal Hygiene refers to practices that promote cleanliness and good health. Practicing personal hygiene with your child establishes a routine, promotes independence and allows them to develop a responsibility for their own health and hygiene.
Visual Schedules can be useful as a step by step guide for certain tasks - we have developed bathing and showering schedules, which you may find helpful. These can be downloaded and printed off:
| Hair Brushing |  |
| Handwashing |  |
| Toothbrushing |  |
Please see our Sensory Tab > Activities of Daily Living for more resources if your child experiences sensory challenges with personal hygiene.
