Counting

• Chairs around the dining table
• Bedrooms in house

Reading

Cleaning

• Set a timer for    x   minutes to work on washing dishes, vacuuming or any chore.
• Clock how fast it takes to do a chore like picking up and putting away toys or dirty laundry.

Scheduling

• Set a timer to do homework, break, homework, break, etc. 
  • Note:  breaks are not longer than homework sessions. 
  • This works well with students that do not sit well. 
  • Remember, when the timer goes off, all work stops or break stops. 
  • Follow until all work is complete. 
  • If your student cannot complete work, talk to the teacher for modified assignments.
• Scheduling of the day can include one activity up to getting up and dressed to going to bed. 
  • Words or words with pictures or pictures or objects can be used.
  • Allow me to help you with this.

These are a few things the family can work on together.  They are fun and can set the pace for the day or an activity.

Please feel free to contact me on any activity.  Modifications are often needed and helpful for the success of the activity.
