Personal Hygiene? What’s that Got to Do with Me? is a curriculum developed for students with autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, learning and developmental disabilities, designed to help them understand how others perceive their appearance and the social implications of neglecting personal hygiene. Simple factual information is accompanied by humorous cartoons that emphasize how others view someone with poor hygiene. Step-by-step cartoons explain exactly what the student needs to do to ensure good hygiene. Quizzes and activity pages provide numerous opportunities for repetition and reinforcement of the key points. There are also hands-on activities to demonstrate why and how to perform various hygiene tasks. Several social stories are also provided, along with a set of worksheets that help students set up a daily schedule to allow time for completing necessary hygiene tasks.

Great for special needs class
I teach high school students on the Autism Spectrum and this has been a great resource for my class. I bought a class set for each student and have found this very helpful for them. The book speaks their language and has a variety of ways to get the point across. It has vocab, stories, charts, and experiments to help drive home the point. The kids also enjoy the cartoons to look at while reading. I highly recommend this to any teacher who has been struggling to find ways to to get the importance of personal hygiene across.

Great book for parents or teachers to use with kids to train them to have good hygiene habits. I bought this as a training aid for my 11 yr. Old twin grandchildren that are Autistic. It takes longer with them, but this will help.

I work with moderately special needs children and this has been helpful with definitions, short sections, and simple text that they, with some help, can read.

Book was delivered in good shape; correct book. The forecasted lead time to deliver was a bit too optimistic but not too much difference.

I purchased this book for my son who has learning disabilities & health problems. He has a soap & toothpaste phobia, my friends assure me that this is a boy thing, lol. I dont know that it’s made much of a difference as we still have the teeth cleaning fight but I continue to be patient in the hope that it gets through to him eventually. Personally, I found it a very informative book & would recommend it.
