Suggested Adaptations:

​

• Reduce the number of questions required for an assignment:

  • use stickers, stamps or clearly circle worksheet questions to signify start and stop spots

 

• Break larger tasks into steps:

  • provide one piece of an assignment to complete before giving the next

  • chunk instruction

    • provide 5 minutes of instruction and then an opportunity for student to check for understanding or share thoughts with a partner for 1 minute

  • use associations or mnemonics to learn sequences

  • provide step planners that break down the steps necessary for task completion

  • provide priority planners that prioritize the tasks to be completed to help student focus on what is more important to and what is less important

 

• Reduce the amount of notetaking:

  • Provide copies of the notes so the student can highlight key words

  • Provide a copy of the notes with key words blanked out (cloze) so students can follow along and add key words
