What It Is

Brushing Teeth is an 11-page printable PDF kit that turns the twice-daily brushing battle into a predictable, manageable routine. It includes a full-color visual sequence, individual step cards, sensory preference tracker, and a brushing log so you can measure progress over time.

What's Inside

  • Full-color visual sequence (8-step brushing routine)
  • Individual step cards (print, cut, laminate, use)
  • Sensory strategy guide (taste, texture, sound, visual sensitivities)
  • Toothbrush preference tracker (find the brush that works)
  • Floss introduction sequence (gradual approach, no force)
  • Daily brushing log (morning / evening tracking sheet)
  • Weekly progress chart (identify which days are hardest)
  • Parent prep checklist (set up for success before you start)

Why It Works

  • Breaks the full task into micro-steps — no "just brush your teeth"
  • Sensory strategies address taste, texture, and motor planning challenges
  • Tracking sheet makes progress visible — helps you see what's working
  • Visual cards remove the need for verbal reminders mid-routine
  • Gradual introduction of floss without creating aversion
  • Research-backed ABA strategies in plain, parent-friendly language

Who It's For

Parents and caregivers of autistic children ages 3–12 who resist or meltdown during teeth brushing. Also useful for behavior technicians building brushing routines as part of a BSP. Works best when introduced without pressure — let the child engage at their own pace.
