General Education homework is often a challenge for RSP students (and their parents). These are some general suggestions for reducing frustration for both you and your child. These are all considered reasonable accommodations for students with IEPs. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me. My contact information is on the home page.

• • Chunking: break the assignment or project down into manageable parts, which makes the information easier to process.

  • Masking: limiting the amount of work viewed by your child (folding the paper in half or covering some problems with a piece of paper) to avoid the possible feeling of being overwhelmed by the amount of homework.  

  • Read aloud for your child any directions, stories, problems, questions, etc. that are needed to do the work.

  • Help them sound out and spell words.

  • Set a timer (the one on your cell phone is fine) for 5, 10, or 15 minutes at a time, then take a break. Repeat until homework is done.
