All About Clothing Curriculum Description:
As part of QTrobot series on autonomy and personal care, the All about Clothing Curriculum teaches some important vocabulary and skills around clothing and dressing. This curriculum expands and generalizes your child’s existing vocabulary around clothing and embeds it in a practical lesson. There are also elements to the lesson that will help your child to generalize some dressing skills to your home setting.
Using the lessons in the All About Clothing Curriculum, children will learn more about various clothing items, their names, their function, and the body part they are worn on. Gamified lessons teach children to make choices in picking the right type of clothing for each season and occasion. Finally, they learn the sequence of getting dressed and the places that they can change their clothes.
The Curriculum also develops conversation skills, learners answer yes/no questions about clothes and practice describing outfits using suitable nouns and adjectives.
The All About Clothing Curriculum provides a comprehensive set of activities that can support a child to be more independent in their own personal care. As always, children will learn through play and will help QTrobot to dress, tidy away clothes, and choose the right clothes for the day’s activities and more.
Who can benefit from QTrobot All About Clothing curriculum?
The curriculum is designed for children with autism and special needs who may need extra support to learn skills related to self-help and autonomy. The curriculum is accessible for children who speak, and those who use PECS, sign language, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Devices. Children practice many skills in receptive language formats, which are universally accessible. Expressive language formats allow children to respond using their preferred communication method.
The activities in this curriculum cover a range of skills related to dressing independently. The early units use simple language and basic instructions and are suitable for early learners or those with limited language.
The later units focus on more advanced skills such as making choices for clothing, answering questions about items of clothing and their uses, and describing other people’s outfits. These activities are more appropriate for older and more advanced learners.
