Build Independence Through Visual Learning

Learning self-care isn't just about memorizing routines, it also means recognizing when a task needs to be completed and what is needed to do it successfully.

The Self-Care & Hygiene Visual Matching Cards help children, teens, and young adults with an Autism diagnosis strengthen these important life skills through a hands-on visual matching activity.

Instead of simply teaching routines, this printable resource guides learners through three important steps:

✔ Notice what is happening ✔ Match the supplies needed ✔ Practice the routine using simple visual steps

This approach supports executive functioning, sequencing, problem-solving, and independent decision-making while making personal care routines easier to understand.

What's Included

• 44 "What I Notice" Cards

• 49 "What I Need" Cards

• 20 Step Cards

• Parent & Caregiver Guide

• 4-page Matching Reference Guide

The cards cover a variety of everyday self-care and hygiene routines and can be used individually, in small groups, classrooms, therapy sessions, or at home.

They're ideal for supporting:

• Autism

• ADHD

• Executive functioning challenges

• Special education

• Life skills instruction

• Independent living programs

This printable resource works well alongside the Self-Care & Hygiene Kit, giving learners opportunities to first learn each routine and then practice recognizing and completing it independently.
