Young people may benefit from a checklist for what they need to do each morning. Use pictures for younger children or anyone who finds reading tricky.
Here is an example of a written checklist – starting the night before
Set alarm for 0700
Check I have the things I need in my school bag
Go to bed and try to get a good night’s sleep
Get up when the alarm rings
Shower or wash
Get dressed
Eat breakfast
Go to school
If any one of these actions needs more support e.g. get dressed, you can make a list of the steps for getting dressed and stick it up in the bedroom. Putting out all the clean clothes and shoes the night before is really helpful for some young people.
