Independent Study Simplified Using Visual Schedule Planner

7/24/2013

Having a hard time getting your loved one/student to study independently?

Try using Visual Schedule Planner to "sandwich" study time between preferred activities. For example, if the individual has a project due at the end of the month, set a specific amount of time each day (or on specific days of the week) that are earmarked specifically for studying/research. To motivate the individual, try placing Study Time after a highly preferred activity (such as free time upon arrival home), and another motivating activity (like a snack, or TV time). 
Picture
Set up a study time event for any days/times that will work well between two preferred activities.
Picture
Make sure the two events on either side of the independent study time are motivating and enjoyable for the individual in order to ensure success.
Picture
Using Week View can further highlight the frequency/duration of the event for the individual.
Picture
Use Month View to view any day that the event occurs (or to see which days you may have available to add in more study time, if needed).

Placing a non-preferred activity between two motivating activities within a schedule can be extremely effective, especially for those individuals who respond well to "First/Then" concepts.
