Promoting Independence

on

  Promoting Independence:

Schedules, calendars, and checklists are examples of visual supports that offer structure and visual cues that enable people with mental disabilities to complete tasks independently (cissnewsletter, 2021). They can better organize their activities, manage their time, and remember and follow routines with the aid of these tools (Hume, 2013). Memory disruptions and trouble remembering crucial details are common in dissociative disorders.

Making a schedule always helps, especially with time management. Planning classes, breaks, recess etc, can become a task. Giving regular breaks in between is an important part of the learning process. Staying in a routine also helps disabled students more as it makes things less confusing for them.
