What is it?
A backup plan identifies what to do when the main helper is unavailable.
Why would I need this?
Practice planning for ordinary disruptions without blaming either person.
Show me.
- Choose one important task that depends on a helper.
- Ask what could interrupt the arrangement.
- Identify another permitted option and confirm whether it is available.
- Write down who will make contact and when.
Try it.
Use an invented appointment and an unavailable driver. Identify a backup inquiry and the person who will make it.
Watch out for this.
A possible backup is not a confirmed one. Mark it pending until the person or service agrees.
Explain this another way
Focus on one small task: make a backup plan together. You can practice aloud, on paper, or with someone you trust.
Show me an example
HAB practice example: Alex will ask a second driver; the supporter will check the transit timetable. Neither records the ride as confirmed yet.
