Tips for using checklists
- Print and display where you'll use it (bathroom, kitchen, by the door)
- Let your child tick items off - builds independence and satisfaction
- Laminate for reuse with dry-erase markers
- Adapt the order to match what works for your family
- Use pictures instead of words for younger children or visual learners
The key insight
Checklists reduce cognitive load and anxiety. When steps are written down, you don't have to remember them. For neurodivergent children (and their parents), this external structure is not a crutch - it's an effective tool that frees up mental energy for other things.
