Lesson Plan

Personal Hygiene Lesson Plan

Students will learn and perform the five-step handwashing routine using visual supports and a self-monitoring checklist, aiming to complete at least four of five steps independently by the end of the session.

Proper handwashing reduces germs, prevents illness, and fosters independence and social acceptance for students with autism by teaching a clear, predictable routine.
