Anyone know of any good devices for increasing independence with daily routines and self care? I'm thinking some kind of "watch" with alarms/messages?
What about apps to increase (I know odd request) texting (my son can read, spell and type) it's more of the base lack of communication.
Or any device/app to increase safety and independence at same time?

He does but he doesn't carry it around with him all the time... I do use alarms set on his iPad to get him through bathroom and bath/shower routine in less than 2 hours😂he does take it into the bathroom to watch while he takes care of business so that works then

I have a clipboard, with the chart for each month with a list of morning tasks and a list of evening tasks. We have been using this grooming checklist (pencil check when completed) for many years and my son has grown accustomed to doing it all on his own without verbal prompts.

The only thing that comes to mind is a 'YouTube' video that runs for the timeframe and Announces when the events start. It can be done @A MyAutismTeam Member, and I'll do it for you, but it's not 100% because whenever 'fb' or 'YouTube' "Updates" it stops the video and can cause issues, and the only way to overcome that is to have the Video File on the Device, and you will have to Start it every morning.
I do have a lot on My plate, but I'll create a Video for you to help him, All that I'll need are the events and times that they happen.

We do that too... I'm looking for something more dynamic that works EVERYWHERE and doesn't need to be reset(automatic consistent) and prompts/annoys him without any additional human involved
