Minimise Difficulties
1. Help children find ways to scaffold their difficulties
Minimising difficulties means finding ways to make things feel a bit
easier – just like someone might use crutches to walk if they have
hurt their leg or wear glasses if they have problems seeing.
There are lots of things that can help people minimise difficulties in
learning, from sensory scaffolds to ones for reading and writing.
Rather than giving scaffolds to a person, it is best to let them try out
different ones until they find one that suits them best. This gives the
person a sense of control and agency.
