Checklists A checklist is a visual reminder used by many people daily.   Common examples include grocery lists, a list of errands, a "to-do" list for home.  These lists can encompass a variety of uses, but serve the same purpose: reminder.  We make these lists in organized manners, some people type a master grocery list and simply check needed items weekly.  Although it is fair to say, most people make these lists in less organized ways, such as jotting household needs on a scrap of paper!  There is again a common factor in the typed grocery list and the scrap paper: organization. Reminders keep us organized.  Our definitions of organization may differ, but we know what works to get us there.  Providing our children with these organizational tools are useful in reminding them of so many skills.  We can make social skills checklists, chore checklists, academic checklists, dietary checklists, and the list goes on and on.  The important goal is to tailor the creation of these, so that your child can gradually come to use and create these independently!
