Getting Dressed Schedule

This board helps to develop independence and promotes key life skills by clearly showing the steps needed when getting dressed.

Getting dressed independently is an important skill to develop, and when someone develops this skill it can be a great boost to self esteem and confidence. This can then lead to the confidence and motivation to increase their independence in other areas of their lives.

It breaks down the process of dressing into small, manageable chunks, which helps with getting through what needs to be done. This board comes with 12 common clothing symbols, and is suitable for both males and females. It has space for five symbols on the board at any one time.

The board and symbols themselves are all made from high quality plastic, which makes them extremely hardwearing and durable. They will typically last for years.
