Tools and Techniques for Daily Routines
Does your child struggle with getting themselves dressed, sequencing or following multiple step directions, or completing daily tasks without frequent cues or reminders? Do their sensory processing challenges impact their tolerance for transitions between activities, or ability to start and stop an activity without adult support?
Here are some key indicators your child may be struggling:
Resistance to changes in the environment, or fear or anxiety about the unexpected
Struggles with transitioning from play to dinner time, or resistance to bedtime routines
Constant reminders to complete daily tasks such as dressing routine
Resistance or avoidance of mealtime or bedtime routines
Homework struggles such as avoidance or poor initiation

Occupational therapy can help to address your child’s specific area of challenge with transitions. This can include developing transitioning tools and techniques, visual schedules and supports, or other tools for parents to implement in the home environment. Virtual therapy can provide support on how to improve daily routines to make them run smoother for children and families.
