    Setting routines and breaking tasks into smaller steps with clear instructions helps children learn activities. When giving instructions, get the child's attention first, speak slowly and clearly, and have them repeat back or demonstrate understanding. Provide visual supports like real objects, pictures, gestures, or a video model to reinforce verbal instructions. Using technology like videos, photos, or voice recordings allows children to review instructions independently.
