Put away clothes
Putting away clothes is not one task, it is several stacked together: folding, sorting by type, opening drawers and remembering what lives where. The steps below take them one at a time.

About this visual support
A child standing in front of a pile of clean clothes is actually holding four processes open at once: folding, sorting, finding the right drawer and deciding what belongs where. That chain costs more than it looks, especially when the pile is mixed.
Visual support breaks the chain into parts you can see. When each part has its own picture, the next step becomes something concrete on the table instead of something to be pulled from memory. The child can work their way down the pile, item by item, without losing the thread between socks and shirts.
A tip that helps this specific job: make the drawers self-explaining by taping a small picture on the outside of each one, the same image used in the visual support. Now the match between garment and place is physical, not abstract. The child does not have to ask where the t-shirts live this week. If you want to follow the routine across several days, you can add it with check-offs in Routined.
