Literacy Related Activities and difficulties with Organisation
Remember, disability is a highly individualised experience. People with the same disability may have very different capabilities and/or needs, so it is always best to discuss any adaptations to practice, the environment or equipment directly with the disabled person themselves rather than making assumptions about what adjustments may be suitable.
Some people with Specific Learning Difficulties such as dyslexia or dyspraxia, those who have acquired brain injury, or those who are on strong prescribed medication for their mental health difficulties can exhibit poor self organisation skills and/or difficulties organising their learning materials.
To help students avoid becoming muddled, the teacher should give clear guidance on how to organise their notes, work books and time to maximise their chances of achieving success.
The teacher can model good practice by showing the class pragmatic and logical ways to organise themselves, their workload and resources. This will help all the students to improve their self organisation skills.
