Load washer
Loading the washer looks like one task, yet it hides several small choices that are easy to forget separately. The pictures below keep the sequence together so no step slips between the cracks.

About this visual support
Sorting colours, measuring detergent, choosing a program, closing the door – each piece is small on its own, yet each can be forgotten in isolation. That is how loads end up starting without detergent, or colours bleed, or the door stays unlocked while the machine waits.
A visual schedule gives every micro-decision its own picture. The child or teenager can follow the row from the sorting piles all the way to the button that actually starts the cycle, and see exactly where they are in the chain. It turns a mental checklist into something you can glance at.
One concrete tip: keep a small measuring cap inside the detergent bottle from day one, so dosing becomes a hand motion rather than a judgement call. Once the sequence is steady, you can rebuild it inside Routined as a reusable routine – pictures, a timer and a tick for each step. The app is free to try for 14 days.
