has anybody managed to teach an adult with learning difficulties to tell the time?
As most of you know my daughter is now in her late 30’s and has LD and is on the autistic spectrum. Her schools and college never managed to teach her and I couldn’t either. It is still causing big problems because she catches buses independently but has no idea what time it is and what time she has to get to the bus stop.
She can read on her phone what the time is, say, 10. 30 but she has no idea that if the bus comes at 11.45 how long she has to wait. She spends hours hanging around for buses!
I won’t be here forever and if she ever gets a little job she will need to know the time for getting to work and what time to leave etc. she also needs to know for GP appointments etc.
We have muddled through but I would love to get her telling the time before I pop my clogs!!
I have just been googling but really didn’t find much although people say that teaching the digital time to adults is best.
