FAQ
How do I get access to KaTid®?
To use the KaTid material you need to enroll in KaTid training.
Can KaTid® be used for children with Dyscalculia?
We are glad to hear you are interested in children with dyscalculia and time management. This is a true challenge as time management is defined as “Mental functions of ordering events in chronological sequence, allocating amounts of time to events and activities” in ICF. “Allocating time” includes calculation, so one would expect there to be a significant relationship, affecting time management. Thus it is also expected that children with Dyscalculia may benefit from intervention supporting time management.
I meet children with Spina Bifida and recognize some of the daily problems described on this website in them. Could a KaTid® assessment be useful in these cases?
Yes, a KaTid® assessment would give you information of the level of time processing ability, and if the TPA is within norm or not. This could guide you in designing intervention. The Time-S self-rating of daily time management is a valuable complement. That will help the two of you to identify which daily situations the child finds problematic and which situations might be good to focus the intervention on.
Can I use KaTid® for an adolescent with intellectual disabilty?
From studies we´ve learned that the material suits even adolescents with intellectual disability. It is important to consider the develomental age when chosing material, KaTid®-Child for developmental age 5-10 or KaTid®-Youth for developmental age 10-15.
In my work I meet adult clients with cognitive disabilities; can I use the KaTid® material?
From the year 2024, there will be new options for adults. First there are the questionnaires: Time-S and Time-Proxy that are useful for adults with cognitive disabilities. KaTid-Senior version 3.0 in Swedish is now available. From autumn 2024 it will be available in English, and from 2025 also in Japanese. A project to develop and evaluate KaTid-Adult for persons with mild or moderate ID is ongoing, a cooperation between NL and Sweden. Possibly materials such as ATMS or Let´s Get Organized could be useful. (Link to Suzanne White MA OTR Occupational Therapy Consultant NYC )
