Bring fruit
Fruit does not really belong to breakfast and it does not belong to getting dressed either. It sits between them, which is exactly why it gets skipped. The picture below gives the step its own slot.

About this visual support
Picking up a piece of fruit for a lunchbox or school bag lives in a gap between routines. Breakfast is done, the coat is not on yet, and somewhere in that short pause something has to be lifted from the bowl. That gap is where memory loses its thread.
Visual support works because it gives the step its own anchor on the wall or counter. When the picture sits on the fridge or next to the breakfast spot, the fruit becomes a clear marker between two other moments rather than a spoken reminder that has to arrive at the exact right second.
A small practical trick: keep the fruit bowl and the picture card on the same surface. One glance covers both the choice and the cue, so the child does not have to look in two places.
If you want this step to slot into a longer morning sequence, the fruit can sit between breakfast and outdoor clothes in Routined. The picture library itself can be downloaded and printed without paying.
