For parents and guardians
- Keep daily routines predictable and warn your child before changes.
- Give one instruction at a time and check it was understood.
- Notice and praise what your child does well.
- Keep a notebook of what you observe to share with a professional.
For students
- Break big assignments into small steps with dates.
- Use a planner, phone reminders or checklists.
- Ask teachers for instructions in writing.
- Learn what helps you focus and ask for it. This is called self-advocacy.
