Personal autonomy programs:
The program includes: feeding, toilet, personal care and hygiene, dressing and undressing themselves, and spatial and time orientation. These programs might be integrated during therapy, but some of them might even be implemented in the child's everyday environment. These programs start at an early age while always evaluating the child's development phases. Enhancing the child's capacity in these activities enables a better transition in the aspects of social autonomy. The abovementioned skills, as time passes take other forms and directions such as feeding. If the child is capable of feeding himself , later he will be capable of preparing easy snacks and might even be capable of preparing a whole meal.
