Getting dressed is an activity that children and adults do every day. We realise that getting dressed independently can be a tricky task for some children, so we have created this page which you will hopefully find helpful.
Independent dressing is a skill that needs to be taught, practised often and will take time. Click Here to access our ‘Developing Dressing Skills’ Guide.
There are lots of different skills for children to learn when getting dressed, including learning how to do up buttons, zips and shoelaces. We have created guides and videos to support the development of each of these skills.
