Structure

Things to talk through with your family/ carers/ support team:

• How do you know what is happening in your day?
• Is there someone that helps you plan your day?
• Do you use a visual planner? If so do you prefer pictures or words to show you what you have on each day?

Try creating a visual planner that might help with your daily routine. Use the below templates as guides for how to lay it out. Try adding pictures or words depending on how you prefer to see your activities.

If you require further support for making a visual planner please contact the Occupational Therapy department on 01383 565223.

Remembering Appointments

“Occupational Therapy supported an individual who was having difficulty remembering
appointments. A weekly planner was used for the individual to write in appointments and activities
that they had on each day. At the beginning the individual needed support to write in activities,
however, with practice, they are now able to write in their own activities and remember to attend
appointments.”
