Why Families Use This Chart

Teaching children to shower independently — and to wash themselves properly in the right order — takes more scaffolding than many parents anticipate. The BOVAI Shower Routine Chart lays out each step of the shower routine in illustrated, easy-to-follow sequence, giving children everything they need to take the lead.

The laminated, moisture-resistant design is built specifically for bathrooms. It can be hung on the shower wall, the bathroom door, or beside the shower to remain visible through the steam of daily use.

Who This Chart Can Support

• Children learning to shower independently for the first time
• Visual learners who benefit from illustrated step-by-step guidance
• Children with autism, ADHD, or sensory sensitivities who may benefit from predictable, structured hygiene routines
• Families looking to reduce repeated showering reminders and support self-care independence
• Occupational therapists and educators supporting hygiene skill development

This chart does not diagnose or treat any condition. It is a supportive visual tool designed to help children develop consistent hygiene habits.

How to Use It

1. Hang the chart in the bathroom at your child's eye level — on the shower wall, door, or beside the shower.
2. Walk through the steps together the first few times, pointing to each illustration.
3. Gradually reduce your prompting as your child learns the sequence.
4. Encourage them to reference the chart themselves before asking for help.
