Messy Bedroom

NAS83880

Hello, 

I care for a young person (12) who has a diagnosis of Autism. 

As a team we are really struggling to have a tidy bedroom. 

We have offered rails / clear boxes so they can visually see their items and offer to help tidy every day so this doesn't get worse. 

Unfortunately, the above has not worked. 

It got to a stage where we had to tidy this when they left the home but this lead to melt down after due to them not knowing where their items are. 

We as a team have to ensure they have a tidy bedroom but want to respect and support her diagnosis. 

Do you have any tips on how we can approach this? 

Thank you!

    Have you talked to her about it? Could you see if you could both make a list with ideas? Map out where everything could go and where she would like it to go. She could maybe colour coordinate boxes or decorate the boxes to make them more special and fun. My own mum did this with me, it helped and worked for me.

    Good luck I hope you find something that helps.
