Self-Care & Hygiene Kit: Printable Visual Supports for Building Independence

Learning self-care skills is an important part of growing independence. However, many children and teens need more than verbal reminders, they benefit from clear visuals, predictable steps, and opportunities to practice skills at their own pace.

The Self-Care & Hygiene Kit provides printable guides designed to help children, teens, and young adults with an autism diagnosis learn and practice everyday personal care routines.

This resource focuses on more than simply completing a task. It helps learners understand:

✔ What the routine is ✔ Why the routine matters ✔ How to recognize when a task needs to be completed ✔ The supplies needed ✔ Steps for completing the routine

This printable kit includes 20 Self-Care & Hygiene Guides covering:

• Face Washing • Handwashing • Brushing Teeth • Flossing • Showering or Bathing • Hair Brushing & Combing • Deodorant • Nail Trimming • Basic Ear Hygiene • Dressing for the Weather • Using Sunscreen • Nose Blowing • Using the Toilet & Cleaning Up • Retainer Care • Braces Care • Glasses Cleaning • Hearing Aid Care • Shaving • Period Hygiene • Medication & Personal Care Plan (Blank Template)

Also included:

✔ Parent/Caregiver Guide ✔ Printable instructions for use ✔ Blank personal care planning page

This resource can be used at home, during therapy, in educational settings, or as part of building independent living skills.
