Handwashing

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help your autistic child learn how to properly wash their hands!

Handwashing:
When it is time to wash my hands, I will walk to the sink and roll up my sleeves. I will turn on the water and wet my hands. Then I will add soap to my hands and rub them together for 30 seconds. When my hands are all soapy, I will rinse them under the water. Now that the soap is all gone, I will turn off the water. I will grab a hand towel and dry my hands. Then I will place the towel back on the holder. Now that my hands are clean, I can turn off the lights and leave the bathroom.

Social stories use simple langauge and clear visuals to walk your autistic child through situations like new routines, transitions, or social interactions. Reading them together ahead of time helps reduce anxiety, builds understanding, and makes unfamiliar moments feel more predictable and manageable.
