Activities of Daily Living

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are fundamental tasks that individuals perform on a daily basis to maintain their health, well-being, and independence. For special needs children, mastering ADLs is not only essential for daily functioning but also for fostering autonomy, confidence, and self-esteem. These activities encompass a wide range of skills, including personal hygiene, dressing, feeding, grooming, and household chores, among others. By focusing on ADLs, therapy sessions and educational programs for special needs children aim to develop their functional abilities and promote independence in everyday life. Learning to perform ADLs not only enhances practical skills but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-reliance, contributing to overall well-being. Additionally, mastery of ADLs facilitates greater inclusion and participation in family, school, and community settings, empowering special needs children to engage more fully in social interactions and activities. Therefore, emphasizing the importance of ADLs for special needs children is essential for promoting their holistic development and maximizing their potential for success and fulfillment.
