Put in the laundry basket
For your child, changing clothes is finished the second the new outfit is on, and the pile on the floor no longer counts as a task. The visual support below adds that final step so it reads as part of the change rather than something extra afterwards.

A child puts a pile of clothes into a laundry basket.
About this visual support
The body says finished before the task is over. The new clothes are on, the awkward part is done, and your child is already halfway out of the room while the shirt is still lying on the floor. This is rarely defiance: the brain simply ticked off the whole activity the moment the new top came over the head.
Visual support that ends with the laundry basket moves the line for what finished means. When the basket appears as its own frame after getting dressed, that last action belongs to the same sequence instead of arriving later as a correction. Keep the basket where the change actually happens rather than in the utility room, because the distance between the floor pile and the basket decides more than willingness does. A low, open basket without a lid removes one more step, since clothes can be dropped straight in without stopping.
The same order can go into Routined, with the laundry basket as the closing step of a dressing or evening routine. The pictures on this page are free to download, and the app can be tried for fourteen days at no cost.
