Practical 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.
People engaged in studying need to learn organisational skills in order to manage their timetable and their workload. Students who find this difficult may find themselves under unnecessary stress which can further exacerbate their difficulties
Some people who have Specific Learning Difficulties such as dyslexia or dypraxia have poor self organisation skills and/or difficulties organising their learning materials. People who have acquired brain injury or Learning Disabilities may also find it difficult to organise themselves and their work.
The teacher should help the learner use simple strategies for making sure that their work is well organised for practicals; for example, providing lists of essential equipment, a clear schedule of work/timetable, and lists of important contacts.
