strategies

- Post reminder strips of steps involved in everyday tasks. Picture cards can be used to make reminders to post around the house.
- Allow practice and repeat actions to reinforce learning. Games has several computer programs for special needs. Songs demonstrate fire and street safety.
- Teach reading and search order to help with math and reading skills.
- Structure the environment to be predictable with minimal distractions. Some children might benefit from a Study Tent.
- Prepare for changes in routine. See weekend schedules for one example of how to do this.
- Provide interaction with non-disabled peers as role models for social, language and behavior skills.
- Develop a behavior management system that provides structure and consistency. Forms can help with this.
