Helping others understand how MagnusTeams can be an essential tool for caregivers

My Role in Supporting Emil's Day-to-Day Activities

As Emil's mother, my role is to provide a safe environment, emotional support, guidance, and assistance with his daily life. I help him with meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking (maybe a little too much). I also support him with managing his finances, scheduling appointments, and communicating with his support team.

My goal is to empower Emil to live as independently as possible while ensuring his safety and well-being.

How MagnusTeams Will Help your day-to-day in supporting Emil’s activities?

MagnusTeams will be a game-changer for us. The platform will help me support Emil's daily tasks that he is working on and making it easier for him to follow along and do tasks independently.  I'm excited to use the visual supports and Card Decks to create personalized schedules, reminders, and task lists. This will not only help Emil stay organized but also reduce stress in the process of growing independent.

I'd love to create Card Decks for various aspects of Emil's daily life, such as:

1. Morning routines
2. Meal planning and cooking
3. Special Olympics sports activity
4. Self-care and travel routines

These Card Decks will provide Emil with visual reminders and step-by-step instructions right on his phone, helping him develop greater independence and confidence.

How does creating Card Decks help structure Emil's Day-to-Day?

Creating Card Decks helps structure Emil's day-to-day by breaking tasks into manageable steps and providing clear expectations and routines.  This really encourages independence and self-initiation and overall helps Emil accomplish more independently.

The platform gives me the ability to, increase Emil's independence and confidence. improve our communication and creates Emil's ability to learn new skills.  It also gives me a sense of security and peace of mind knowing that Emil has access to the support he needs.

Building Relationships with Emil's Support Team

MagnusTeams helps me build stronger relationships with Emil's support team by allowing us to access a shared platform for collaboration and coordination. That’s amazing! As an adult it’s difficult to get the right information from educators and staff, however there is a tool that we can just enhance our collective understanding of Emil's needs and preferences.

What are your favorite features in MagnusTeams and why?

My favorite features are the visual Card Decks and schedules.  I love this because it helps make the use of the technology effective and full of purpose.

The option to track progress and outcomes is fantastic because I do less micromanagement.

I’m not tech savvy and the fact that it's very user-friendly makes me smile.

I love that MagnusTeams has created a platform that is a solid solution for the future independence of many individuals.
