Here are a few suggestions to help your child:

At Home:

• Keep it Interesting

• Give Praise and Encouragement

• Provide Structure

• Encourage Exercise

• Practice Good Sleep Hygiene

• Break Tasks Down Into Smaller Tasks

• Think Out Loud

• Keep Distractions to a minimum

At School:

• Seat the student away from windows and away from the door

• Seats in rows, with focus on the teacher, usually work better than having students seated around tables or facing one another in other arrangements

• Give instructions one at a time and repeat as necessary

• Work on the most difficult material early in the day

• Use visuals: charts, pictures, color coding

• Establish eye contact

• Keep instructions simple and structured

• Summarize key points
