Accommodations at Home

1. Visual Aids
• Use checklists, visual schedules, and charts to make daily
routines clear and accessible.
• Examples: Morning routines, chore charts, or step-by-step
guides for homework.
2. Timers and Alarms
• Use visual timers or alarms to manage time effectively.
• Examples: A timer for focused work sessions (e.g., 15 minutes
of homework), reminders for transitions, or alarms for bedtime.
3. Organized Workspaces
• Create a dedicated, distraction-free area for completing
homework or other tasks.
• Include tools like bins for supplies, noise-canceling
headphones, and adequate lighting.
4. Simplified Instructions
• Break tasks into smaller, manageable steps and give directions
one at a time.
• Example: Instead of “Clean your room,” say, “First, put your
toys in the bin, then make your bed.”
5. External Motivation
• Use reward systems to reinforce positive behaviors.
• Examples: Earning tokens for completing chores or extra
screen time for finishing homework without reminders.
6. Movement Breaks
• Allow frequent breaks during tasks, especially for activities that
require sustained focus.
• Example: Let your child take a five-minute break after 15
minutes of homework.
