FREE Printable Brushing Teeth & Washing Hands Steps Visual Cues!

Some children struggle more than others when it comes to understanding everyday tasks. Visual cues can be a great asset to these children in guiding them through. My daughter whom happens to have Autism thrives from using visual cues to coordinate her routines and guide her along the way. They also help her communicate because she cannot directly tell me. I set up visual cues at our sink for her to use to guide her through washing her hands and also brushing her teeth. I have seen such a tremendous benefit from them I thought I would customize them and provide them for you to print for free and make yourself!
