- He can independently don elastic lower body garments.
- He needs minimal assistance to orient socks and moderate assistance to tie shoelaces.
- He can independently don slip-on and Velcro-type shoes in the correct orientation.

Assessment Tools
- PEDI-CAT is used to assess a child's performance in the areas of responsibility, social/cognitive, and motor skills. Used for older children, teenagers, and young adults.
- AMPS is a criterion-referenced test used for assessing ADL and IADL task performance skills. It assesses underlying motor and process performance skills.
Toilet Training Readiness
- Signs of readiness include:
- Child can sit for short periods of time
- Child is becoming more independent (e.g., saying 'no' more often)
- Child is interested in watching others use the toilet
- Child has dry nappies for up to two hours
- Child can communicate when they have a bowel movement or urinated in their nappy
- Child shows signs of disliking wearing a nappy
- Child has regular and formed bowel movements

Toilet Training Strategies
- Make toilet training a routine.
- If the child is unable to use the toilet after 3-5 minutes, allow them to get off and move on to the next activity.
- Regardless if the child pees or poops, allow them to practice doffing and sitting/standing tolerance on the potty, and then don their clothes, wash hands, and flush the toilet.
Bedtime Routine
- Establish a consistent routine:
- Provide quiet time before sleep, such as reading, singing, or rocking
- Use visual supports, like checklists, schedules, social stories, or video modeling
- Adjust bedtime based on the day's activity levels.
- Provide appropriate activities before bedtime. High energy activities may increase arousal.
Sensory Aspects of Bedtime
- Auditory: Minimize auditory input by using quiet sounds, white noise, or calming music.
- Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature that is neither hot nor cold.
- Smell: Choose alerting or calming smells; some children may prefer a specific scent.
- Visual: Turn off lights and use nightlights.
- Tactile: Choose bed sheets and clothing that are the right weight and texture.
