Planning

Planning is a cognitive skill which involves thoughts and ideas which will help reach a goal. Figuring out the steps required to reach the goal are also part of the planning processes. Planning is important in completing everyday tasks such as grocery shopping, completing homework or a project, getting to work on time, etc. Occupational therapists can work on the skill of planning as it relates to any daily routine or activity which is important to an individual.
