Menstrual Hygiene Product Use: Sequencing Cards (Download)

Description

Teaching how to use sanitary napkins for menstruation can be a confusing task, particularly for visually-inclined students with special needs such as developmental delays, learning disabilities, or autism.

Using teaching principles that have been proven to be effective for youth on the autism spectrum and other special needs, these cards demonstrate, picture by picture, the sequence of how to apply hygiene napkins, how to change them, and how to discard them. They are labeled by step and include a reminder to wash hands after touching sanitary napkins.

*Although they include words, the photos used in this sequence are ideal for non-verbal youth.
