Training pictograms: Shower routine, boy, pictogram series

Why use training pictograms?

Children with autism often struggle with even simple daily tasks, simply because they can be too confusing with too many steps or details. Because autistic people need to do things one step at a time, they often get stuck at the prospect of navigating a complicated task on their own.

However, most people can be helped by creating pictograms that illustrate how to get through step-by-step. Such training pictograms are introduced gently, by guiding the child and noticing when it might be too much. For the pictograms to make sense, an adult must help boys with autism connect the individual images with the corresponding actions.

The Take a bath for boys training pictograms series is a specially developed aid that visually guides the boy through the bathing process. You are reminded to position yourself correctly, turn on the water, wash with soap and shampoo and rinse them properly, and put on a bathrobe at the end.

The Take a Bath training pictograms are beautifully illustrated and help boys with autism focus by showing only the shower area of the bath and using a boy as a character. Since the pictograms come with Danish texts, children benefit from the extra explanation, as well as the opportunity to strengthen their language by connecting images and words.

The Take a bath for boys training pictogram series is printed directly on laminated thick paper, which guarantees longevity and resistance to water and dirt, among other things, when used correctly.

The series consists of 8 training pictograms.
