In this episode, we’re talking chores—how we got Alec started, how we create chore chains with just the right level of support, and why these daily tasks are so much more than household responsibilities.
Chores have been a huge part of Alec’s journey toward independence. We share how we taught him to complete tasks step by step, how we adjusted support as his skills grew, and why we believe every child—regardless of ability—can take pride in contributing at home.
Chores also lay a solid foundation for real-world job skills. These early routines can turn into resume-worthy experience, and we’ve seen firsthand how powerful that can be.
