What it might look like
Practice pushing trousers down and pulling them up while fully clothed at a calm moment. A caregiver can help with the part that is still difficult.
Make the plan your own
Choose one idea and ask the people involved what support they need. Notice whether it makes the day more manageable, then keep, change, or drop it. You do not have to complete every suggestion. Different ages, abilities, cultures, and family arrangements may call for different choices.
