Specific purposes ・To have children understand that it is better to start at the top of their bodies when drying

Considerations for disability characteristics ・To have children understand the need to dry from the top part of the body downward, a series of drawings indicating the order in which body parts are to be dried were prepared.
・The body part that is to be dried is colored red for easy recognition.
・The size of the teaching material is adjusted so that the children know where to look.
Expected effects and results ・The children began to dry themselves from the top part of their bodies downward, as instructed in the series of drawings.
・The children were able to learn the names of their body parts.
How to use 1. When changing after swimming or on an overnight field trip.
・Have the children experience repeatedly that when they dry their bodies from the top down, the drying is neater because water will not drip down onto areas already dried.
2. Personalized life skills training (lessons)
・Teach the names of the body parts by using the drawings and words until they match.
