Bathing
Below are some considerations/suggestions when promoting independence when bathing.
- Create a routine for when to bathe.
- Does the young person benefit from consistency? Use the same products and ensure they are available in the same place each time. If you change products, let them know. If needed, encourage them to be part of this decision/choice.
- Ensure the bath does not overflow:
- Before they start running the bath, set an alarm as a reminder to check the bath has not overflowed.
- Use a Magiplug on the bath to prevent water overflow.
