These include <em><strong>change, time<\/strong>,<\/em> and <strong><em>responsibility<\/em><\/strong>. For neurodivergent individuals, understanding these ideas can be challenging because they are often not concrete or visible. Many parents of neurodivergent children struggle to explain these ideas and adults with executive functioning difficulties face similar challenges. This blog post explores what it\u2019s like for individuals when these concepts are fuzzy, and what it\u2019s like when these concepts become clear. It also offers practical strategies to make them more accessible. Whether you&#8217;re a parent or an adult seeking clarity, this guide will help.<\/p>\n<h2>The struggle with abstract life concepts<\/h2>\n<p>Everyday life requires us to navigate abstract ideas. Neurotypical individuals often take this for granted. For neurodivergent individuals, it can feel overwhelming. For example, concepts like &#8220;<strong><em>consequence<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; or &#8220;<strong><em>time<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; are not tangible. They cannot be touched or seen. This makes them harder to grasp.<\/p>\n<p>Consider this common scenario. You ask your child to put on their shoes. Fifteen minutes later, they are distracted by something else and their shoes are still not on! Or think about the adult who underestimates how long a task will take before they head out the door to an appointment, which they end up late for. These struggles stem from a lack of clarity about abstract concepts.<\/p>\n<p>Why is this the case? Neurodivergent individuals are often visual and hands-on learners. They excel in creative and imaginative thinking and often spend much time in their delightful thought world, in which anything can happen. Not being present in the physical world for much of the time can impact their ability to accurately experience the passage of <strong><em>time<\/em><\/strong>, to gain a consistent understanding of true <strong><em>cause and effect<\/em><\/strong>, or to create an inherent sense of <strong><em>order<\/em><\/strong>, to name a few abstract, but fundamental concepts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"whiteblock \" style=\"background-color:#ededed;\">\n\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cols\">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3>\u201cI can\u2019t believe how life-changing these concepts are.

Change<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Change<\/strong> <\/em>is an inherent part of existence\u2014whether gradual or sudden, predictable or unexpected. For many neurodivergent individuals, change feels unsettling. This can lead to rigidity or anxiety. For example, a child might resist new routines.

Consequence<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Consequence<\/strong> <\/em>means <strong><em>cause<\/em> <\/strong>and <strong><em>effect<\/em><\/strong>. Something happens because of something else. Many neurodivergent individuals focus only on the end result. They miss the connection between actions and outcomes.

It uses hands-on techniques to clarify abstract ideas. As you can see with the examples above, clients use clay to model concepts like <em><strong>change<\/strong> <\/em>or <em><strong>consequence<\/strong><\/em>. This approach is effective because it aligns with how neurodivergent individuals learn best: visual and hands-on. And because the creativity process and the learning process cannot be separated, the learning of these concepts becomes fully internalized and easily transferrable, rather than simply rote learned.<\/p>\n<p>Key benefits of the Davis Method includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improved clarity of abstract concepts<\/li>\n<li>Greater willingness to try new experiences<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced ability to predict outcomes<\/li>\n<li>Increased confidence and independence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Next Steps<\/h2>\n<p>If you or your child struggles with life concepts, consider exploring the Davis Program.
