How to Create Daily Routines for Kids with Autism: Stay C.A.L.M
Create
You can’t have a routine if you don’t create one. Start by identifying each task you’d like your child to complete, list them out, and organize a structured schedule. Designate when each should occur and for how long.
Alert
Creating an autism daily routine is one thing, sticking to it is another. So stay on schedule with alerts, no matter how busy things get.
Like
A little positive reinforcement can go a long way. So be sure your child knows how much you like what they’re doing every step of the way.
Maintain
Maintaining the daily routine will likely be the hardest challenge. At least at first.But the longer you keep up a regular schedule, the easier it will be to maintain. So stay consistent.
Here is an example of my daily schedule for brad with autism who attend school.
