For people with disorders of the corpus callosum, getting things done isn’t always about having enough time. Some tasks take more brain energy than others, and that can change from day to day.
This webinar will explore the difference between managing time and managing energy. We’ll talk about why everyday tasks can sometimes feel harder or take more effort, how to notice signs that your brain is running low on energy, and practical ways to plan your day around your capacity.
This webinar is designed for adults with DCC as well as parents and caregivers who want to better understand and support their loved one.
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
-
Understand the difference between time and energy challenges.
-
Identify things that can use more brain energy for people with DCC.
-
Recognize signs of fatigue, overload, and low capacity.
-
Learn practical strategies for planning tasks and managing energy.
