This is how I do it – My Home

This booklet contains 25 pages in colour and 25 pages in black and white.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Curamus School for Autism for their support and invaluable assistance with the design of these booklets.

This booklet is a learning resource designed specifically for neurodiverse learners to help them understand their home environment, daily routines and the different rooms in a house. The aim of the booklet is to help children recognise familiar spaces, understand where everyday activities take place and build vocabulary related to the home.

Through simple visual activities, sorting tasks and short reading exercises, learners explore the different parts of a home and the activities that happen in each space. This helps children build understanding of their daily routines and surroundings in a clear and structured way.
