Personal Care

Personal care skills help students who are blind or visually impaired manage hygiene routines, health-related tasks, and personal needs safely and independently. Because many of these skills are typically learned through visual observation, students often benefit from direct instruction in adaptive techniques, organization systems, and tactile strategies. Instruction focuses on personal hygiene, bathroom routines, identifying and organizing personal care items, using adaptive tools, and developing consistent habits that support health, safety, and independence. Strong personal care skills promote confidence, privacy, self-reliance, and successful participation across home, school, and community environments.
