Autism and Personal Care
Many autistic children and young people may experience apprehension towards participating in personal care activities due to anxiety. This anxiety could stem from factors such as heightened sensory sensitivity, uncertainty about the expectations, and challenges in organising and prioritising the tasks.
This training presentation will examine a range of personal care tasks, including.
- Hair Washing,
- Showering
- Teeth Brushing.
We will discuss the potential triggers of anxiety related to these tasks and explore accommodations and supports to assist the child or young person in successfully completing these self-care tasks.
