Starting and switching
Beginning a task, stopping a preferred activity or changing plan may require more energy and support—especially when the next step is unclear.
Working memory and time
Holding several instructions in mind, estimating time and organising belongings can be difficult even when someone understands the task well.
Externalise the plan
Checklists, timers, visual schedules, body doubling and breaking work into visible steps can reduce the load on working memory.
