Helping children follow a hand washing routine is especially important during the Covid-19 pandemic. Make it easier with this free hand washing routine visual chart with core vocabulary from Autism Speech Talkies at Teacherspayteachers.com
This free resource includes photos, drawings, text and core vocabulary pictures with words.
I suggest you print out the visual chart, cut out and laminate the individual pictures from the sequence and place the soft side of Velcro on the back of each. Laminate a piece of construction paper large enough to hold the full sequence and place the rough side of Velcro across the paper. Go over each step as you place them on the chart. When they seem to understand the sequence, have them close their eyes and take one step off. See if they can recall the missing step. Continue until they can correctly place all of the steps in order. This can be done over several short sessions.
Place the chart at eye level by the sink and practice the steps. Soon, they will be happily singing and washing their hands with no reminders!
