- Breaking tasks down in to smaller manageable steps can help the person you care for to complete tasks independently
- This can relate to self-care tasks like brushing teeth or dressing, or when paying for groceries at a shop.
- For example rather than saying you need to change your shoes, providing step by step instructions can help your loved one to understand clearly what they need to do:
1.Sit down
2.Take off this shoe (left) and this shoe (right)
3.Move these shoes to the side
4.Put on the other shoes, this shoe first (left) and then this shoe (right)
5.Task completed.
