Working Memory Scaffolds

Scaffolds & adjustments for people who find it hard to

hold things 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)
