Organisational skills

People affected by learning and attention difficulties may show signs of poor organisation skills. It is common for people with a poor short term memory to also have poor organisational skills as both symptoms are associated with a lack of capacity in the brain’s working memory. People affected will experience a number of problems in their organisational abilities: for example, forgetting to take books to school, keeping a room or desk tidy and being late for appointments.

A problem with organisation is another symptom associated with an under performing cerebellum, which makes it very difficult to multitask and organise simple tasks. Good organisational skills require full capacity in short term memory in order to remember to do tasks, such as remembering to take books to school.

The Dore Programme enhances organisational skills because it works by improving cerebellum efficiency leading to more automatic skills. This means that capacity in the brain is improved and so remembering simple tasks becomes easier.
