Individuals with developmental disabilities, ADD/ADHD and other anxiety related disorders often require a higher level of structural support to assist them with self-management, communication and social relationships.
Individuals with these challenges are very concrete and literal thinkers who struggle with the vague and fluid nature of verbal and non-verbal communication and social innuendo. Word retrieval under pressure and even simple sequencing of events can be a struggle. The resulting anxiety creates a need for "sameness" and requires life be predictable whenever possible.
Many of these individuals learn, structure their lives and even communicate most effectively using visual channels. Their excellent visual learning skills and visual memory can be utilized to help compensate for the challenges that compromise their quality of life.
