Hygiene Hippie: Video Modeling & Visual Schedules for Life Skills Hygiene Hippie helps therapy teams train staff, support parents, and promote client independence using video modeling and visual schedules. Designed by an occupational therapist, Hygiene Hippie provides a structured system for teaching hygiene routines, daily living skills, and other life skills across home, therapy, and community environments. Clinics, therapists, and families use Hygiene Hippie to create step-by-step routines that help individuals practice skills consistently and build independence over time. Why Hygiene Hippie Many individuals struggle with daily routines not because they lack the ability to learn them, but because supports are inconsistent across environments. Hygiene Hippie bridges therapy and everyday life by giving teams and families a shared system for practicing routines outside of sessions. By combining visual schedules with video modeling, the app helps reduce prompting, support consistency, and reinforce skill development between therapy visits. Designed to Support Teams and Families Hygiene Hippie helps: • Train staff with consistent visual demonstrations • Support parents with clear routines they can follow at home • Promote client independence through structured video modeling and visual supports This makes it easier for therapy teams, caregivers, and families to work together to support meaningful participation in everyday life. Features Video Modeling Integration Attach videos to individual steps so users can see exactly what to do. Custom Visual Schedules Create structured routines for hygiene, self-care, and daily living skills. Flexible Routine Builder Adapt routines to match each learner’s needs, pace, and environment. Routine Practice Support Schedules can be used daily to reinforce consistency and independence. Works Across Environments Use the same routines across therapy sessions, home practice, and everyday activities. Who Uses Hygiene Hippie Hygiene Hippie supports individuals learning or strengthening daily living skills and is commonly used by: • ABA therapy providers • Occupational therapists • Special education programs • Caregivers and families • Teens and adults building independence Getting Started Access to Hygiene Hippie is provided through participating clinics and therapy programs.

I like that I can use this app for just about anything for visual schedules. It helps my son with autism do his chores. I haven’t done the videos, but I can see me using it in the future.

Stop making apps that require subscriptions!

I think it’s completely counterproductive to make subscription apps for autistic or neurodivergent people. There are already plenty of studies out there that show the higher cost of our lives. You can also bet most of us will forget to use this and continue paying subscription for who knows how long. Just make it a paid app! Many actual autistic or neurodivergent apps cost money but it ends up being way cheaper than a subscription. FAIR WARNING YOULL NEED TO PAY A SUBSCRIPTION TO FULLY BE ABLE TO USE.

Developer Response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. We completely understand the concern about subscription models, especially for autistic and neurodivergent individuals who already face higher costs of living.We chose a yearly subscription model (just $9.99 per year) because the app allows users to upload and securely store their own videos, which comes with ongoing storage and maintenance costs. A one-time payment, unfortunately, wouldn’t cover those long-term expenses while keeping the app running reliably. There is also a free version of the app where you can access all features, just in a limited quantity, so you can still benefit from the app without subscribing.That said, we worked hard to keep the price point as low as possible. We are proud that it costs less than one fast food meal for a full year of use. We hope that Hygiene Hippie becomes a tool people can rely on multiple times a day, every day, to build independence and confidence in their daily routines.We hear your concerns and will continue to look for ways to make the app as accessible and affordable as possible. Thank you again for your honesty. It helps us improve.

Once you get the hang of scheduling the tasks it’s easy to use. Helpful for daily tasks that need a video model.

As a parent of a child with autism, I'm always on the lookout for tools that can genuinely make a difference in our daily lives, especially when it comes to fostering independence. I recently discovered an app called Hygiene Hippie, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for us.Ease of Use: A Parent's DreamOne of the first things that struck me about Hygiene Hippie is how incredibly user-friendly it is. From the moment I downloaded it, setting up the app was a breeze. The interface is clean, intuitive, and not cluttered with unnecessary features, which is a huge plus when you're already juggling a million things. Creating custom visual schedules for tasks like brushing teeth, washing hands, or getting dressed was surprisingly simple. I could quickly add steps, customize the order, and even assign specific images to each step. It's clear that the developers put a lot of thought into making this accessible for busy parents. My child, who sometimes struggles with new interfaces, took to it remarkably well, which speaks volumes about its design.Functionality: Empowering IndependenceThe real power of Hygiene Hippie lies in its core functionalities: visual schedules and video models. These are two strategies often recommended by therapists, and having them integrated seamlessly into an app is brilliant.Visual Schedules: The customizable visual schedules have been instrumental in breaking down complex hygiene tasks into manageable steps for my child. Seeing the sequence clearly laid out, with images representing each action, significantly reduces anxiety and confusion. It provides a predictable routine, which is vital for children on the spectrum. We've seen a noticeable decrease in resistance to daily routines since starting with the app.Video Models: This feature is where the app truly shines for building independence. Being able to record short video clips of the desired action (e.g., how to squeeze toothpaste, or the steps for washing hands) and link them directly to the visual schedule steps is incredibly effective. My child learns so much by watching and imitating. It allows for repeated exposure to the correct way to perform a task, providing a clear and consistent example that I, as a parent, can't always perfectly replicate in the moment. It's like having a patient, consistent teacher right there on the screen.Overall ImpactHygiene Hippie has not only made daily hygiene routines smoother and less stressful for our family but has genuinely helped my child gain confidence and independence. It's fantastic to watch them take initiative and complete tasks with less prompting, guided by the app. It's more than just a scheduling tool; it's an empowering aid that leverages proven strategies in an accessible and engaging format.I highly recommend Hygiene Hippie to any parent of a child with autism looking for an effective, easy-to-use tool to support skill-building and foster greater independence in daily living. It's a fantastic resource that truly delivers on its promise.
