Ever watch your child walk to another room and come back empty-handed? Or see them start a project full of excitement only to forget the steps halfway through?
That’s nonverbal working memory at work. It’s how the brain keeps a mental picture of what’s happening and what comes next. When the picture isn’t clear or can’t be help on for very long, kids can forget steps, get stuck mid-task, or need extra reminders.
With the right strategies, kids can get better at holding onto that mental picture. They start following steps more on their own and feel confident in everyday activities like finishing homework, putting away toys, or finishing a craft.
In therapy, we use research-backed approaches to help kids practice this skill so daily life feels easier and they can shine on their own. If you’re in Texas, send me a message. I’d love to chat about how we can support your child.
