Encouraging confidence and independence

Buttons and zips

Help your child learn to open and close buttons and zips.

Dressing skills

Some children find dressing hard because they have movement or learning difficulties.

Organisation and planning skills

Poor organisational skills can make it difficult for a young person to develop independence from others.

Paying attention

Some children have difficulty focusing at home and school, making it much harder for them to learn.

Putting on shoes and socks

Some children put their socks on the wrong way around or shoes on the wrong foot.

Switching tasks (transitioning)

Some children find it difficult to settle or cope with moving to a different task or room.
