Join in on this webinar designed for parents and carers interested in exploring self-care. Together, we’ll approach hygiene from a neuro-affirming perspective, considering sensory needs, autonomy, communication, identity-expression, and healthcare factors that
influence daily routines.
In this session, we’ll zoom in on toothbrushing, often reported as one of the trickiest parts of a young person’s day, as well as the challenges and strategies around taking medications. You’ll be invited to reflect on your own experiences and practices as we explore the goals of hygiene and medication routines, why these tasks can sometimes be difficult, and how identity and co-occurring health conditions can impact access. We’ll also share practical, easy-to-implement strategies that can be used right away that all honour sensory needs, autonomy, and comfort.
