Working Memory Scaffolds
Scaffolds & adjustments for people who find it hard to hold things
in their mind for the moment
▪ Visual reminders – post-its, photographs, lists (where the person looks regularly)
▪ Visual information: graphs, flow charts
▪ Routines and consistent systems
▪ Follow-up – don’t rely on holding information
▪ Chunk information / tasks into smaller parts - e.g. emails with heading and use of bold
▪ Tapping into strengths - e.g. remembering by talking through, having a go practically rather
than just listening or watching (coach rather than instruct)
