Difficulty Completing

Independent Work

Some students have poor motor skills, decreased organizational skills, and challenges with task sequencing. They may have difficulty with language processing and handwriting, or they may be distracted by environmental stimuli. This student doesn’t have materials ready, can be slow to start an assignment, can appear distracted or disorganized, and can be frustrated or oppositional.

Solutions!

• Identify a consistent location to keep materials secure and readily available, such as a container attached to the side of the desk or on the floor. For example, some students may benefit from attaching pencils to the desk with Velcro.

• Ensure that the student understands the intent of the assignment and make sure he starts it correctly. Don’t wait until he is halfway through to offer guidance.

• Modify lengthy assignments to a manageable level.

• Reward efforts to stay on task (e.g. verbal praise, a token economy).

• Allow the student to wear headphones or earplugs during pencil-and-paper activities.
