Do you feel like you are always yelling of a morning to get out the door?
Mornings can be such a hectic time in many households. Add in, supporting someone with a disability, can be quite frustrating for everyone involved.
Young children and people with Autism, language and learning disabilities can often find verbal instructions confusing, which leads to anxiety and behaviours. Often small children and people on the Autism Spectrum are visual learners and respond to pictures as opposed to auditory information.
Having to repeat every task of your routine before you leave the house?
Does this sound familiar?
“Have you brushed your teeth?”
“Have you brushed your teeth?”
“OK, Put your shoes on”
… (5mins later)
“Put your shoes on”
… (another 5mins later)
“Puuuut yooooour shooooes oooonnn!!!!!!”
Replace yelling with pictures!
A daily picture routine schedule that displays each step of the routine will increase a child or person with a disability sense of control, over their day.
For people with Autism, and communication disorders, pictures are a concrete form of communication and can process images/pictures quicker.
