ADL - Top tips for teaching dressing

Think about the environment

Reduce distractions & allow lots of time (practice at the weekend not before school!)

Sit on a chair to help with balance

Undressing is easier than dressing

Learn one garment at a time

Use over sized or loose fitting when learning

Practice the tasks in the same way each time to provide a familiar sequence

Practice naming body parts with your child

Involve your child in the task – ask them what comes next, where does your t-shirt go? This will help with sequencing and body awareness.
