INTRODUCTION TO DAILY ROUTINE<br />

This section contains information about your child’s routines. It includes:<br />

Important People in My Child’s Life: to provide information on family members, friends,<br />

and pets that are important to your child and the nicknames your child gives to these<br />

people or pets.<br />

Special Care Routines: to describe special routines (suctioning, skin care, therapies,<br />

postural drainage, etc.) and times for these routines.<br />

Special Equipment: to provide instructions and pictures or illustrations of how the<br />

equipment works so that others will learn how to use it and what to do if it breaks down.<br />

Mealtime Routine: provides information on your child’s eating times, food allergies,<br />

favorite foods, and feeding equipment.<br />

Personal Care: provides information on location of your child’s clothing and instructions<br />

for bathing, dressing, toileting of your child, as well as other routines.<br />

Play Time / Study Time: provides information on your child’s favorite activities, toys,<br />

music, and books and on TV, computer, and homework rules.<br />

Bedtime Routine: provides information on your child’s physical care and rituals at<br />

bedtime.<br />

Transportation: describes what your child needs for traveling, seating instructions, and<br />

specific instructions for field trips in programs / schools.<br />

You may want to provide photos of your child to indicate such things as your child’s<br />

seating position in the car or for feedings or any other photos which might help others<br />

learn about your child’s routines.<br />

If your child is of school age, a lot of the information contained in this section will be<br />

helpful to school or program personnel. For example, knowledge of food preferences,<br />

best ways of dealing with equipment, and sitting positions may help school personnel<br />

better assist your child.<br />

<strong>Information</strong> on daily medications and therapy routines may be found in the Emergency<br />

Health and <strong>Information</strong> and Health and Development sections of the notebook.<br />
