Even simple tasks at a job site can be made challenging or even impossible by a disorganized workspace or the lack of a clear plan. An employee must be able to self-monitor their work to ensure it is done accurately and completely. This section presents the organizational skills needed to plan for and complete work projects, including setting up the workspace for efficient and independent work and managing schedules. It also addresses modifications and visual supports that may be useful for students who struggle with distractions in the workplace or with making transitions between tasks.
Because the workday is usually fluid, this section provides resources for helping students cope with changes in the schedule and down time between activities. The workplace can be an unpredictable environment, so it is important to develop both the organizational skills and the flexibility to meet the challenges of that environment and get the job done right.
