Activities of Daily Living
An activity of daily living – also known as an ADL – is a primary occupation an individual needs to perform every day. Both children and adults need to engage in ADLs in order to function within their environment. These tasks can be very complex for chidlren to learn. It is important to understand how their skill level may be effecting their independence and participation in such tasks. The primary ADLs for children are dressing, eating, bathing, toileting, grooming, sleep and moving safely around their environment.
Our team have developed a number of videos to support you and your child with ADL skills;
