Homework can be a challenge for kids with special needs and their parents. But never fear, guest blogger Rachel Cordeiro is here with her Homework Survival Guide’s six tips to make study time easier for child and parent.<\/em><\/p>\n

Homework Survival Guide: Special Needs Edition<\/h3>\n

Survival Tip #1: Preparation<\/h4>\n

During this past school year homework was a struggle for my daughter.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure who began to dread it more\u2014Cami or me!\u00a0\u00a0 Without fail, it was days with the most difficult start to homework that the Braille writer would become jammed while loading the paper into it. This caused an already stressful situation to escalate, and I knew something needed to change. My solution?\u00a0 I decided to load the paper into the Braille writer ahead of time, which cut out a lot of unnecessary stress.\u00a0 It was a small step that made a big difference.<\/p>\n

I do realize some steps involved in the homework routine may help to reinforce a necessary skill, but sometimes you have to pick your battles (and I was tired of the jammed paper winning!).\u00a0 You will have to decide what is best for your child.\u00a0 Take a step back to consider which steps in your child\u2019s homework cause unneeded stress, then prepare as necessary for the smoothest transition into homework time.<\/p>\n

Survival Tip #2: Communication<\/h4>\n

As I already mentioned, Cami had a difficult year and we both cried many tears over the homework load.\u00a0 My advice?\u00a0 Communicate often with the teachers.\u00a0 Be honest about any problems you are encountering during homework, and make sure they are aware of how long it took your child to complete the assigned work. Remember, as your child\u2019s advocate, it\u2019s important to let the teacher know how much your child can or can\u2019t handle.<\/p>\n

Survival Tip #3: Adaptation<\/h4>\n

Last year in science, Cami\u2019s class had to learn <\/a>the physical states of water<\/a><\/span>.<\/a>\u00a0 There was a study sheet containing pages of facts with pictures, but the information was overwhelming for her, and she couldn\u2019t see the illustrations. After reading it through to her several times, she was having trouble remembering it all, so I put the paper aside and tried a different approach (boiled water on the stove to illustrate water vapor, placed ice cubes in a glass of water to illustrate condensation, etc. ) to illustrate the different changes in matter.<\/p>\n

Because Cami retains knowledge best when it\u2019s something she has experienced, she was able to remember the different states of water much better. I made sure to send\u00a0 a note explaining what we had done in place of the written assignment, and her teachers accepted that (this falls right in line with communication as well).<\/p>\n

Survival Tip #4: Concentration<\/h4>\n

Create a homework environment most appropriate for your child.\u00a0 Where exactly that will be may differs from child to child as long as it enables him to focus on his work. The key is to set aside a time and place dedicated to homework and be consistent in implementing that as part of the homework routine.<\/p>\n

Survival Tip #5: Motivation<\/h4>\n

There are days when I wish I had the magic formula for motivating Cami to do homework. Other times I think I\u2019ve discovered the greatest motivator for her, only to have it last for one week.\u00a0 Motivate by keeping things fresh. Make it as fun and enjoyable as possible and be flexible in your approach.\u00a0 The key I have found to motivating? Focus on motivation for that particular day and use a different approach tomorrow if needed.<\/p>\n

Survival Tip #6: Relaxation<\/h4>\n

After your child has completed their homework assignment it\u2019s a good idea to reward them for their hard work and effort.\u00a0 Choose a reward that you deem appropriate for them and something they can look forward to each day (this works as great motivator as well!).\u00a0 For Cami, her reward is to play with whatever she chooses, allowing her to enjoy much needed down time and relaxation.\u00a0 And don\u2019t forget yourself\u2026now that the homework for the day has been completed it\u2019s time for you to relax as well\u2026.at least until tomorrow!<\/p>\n
