Assigning adequate and appropriate homework is challenging for teachers and students alike. At its best, homework provides preparatory reading and furthers understanding. Unfortunately, it can also be a meaningless activity designed to keep students busy. Here are 10 strategies to help make the process smoother for “our kids” with ADHD and Autism.
Homework: What is it? It’s designed to help students taught in class. Learn content that goes beyond what was introduced in class. It also reinforces course content.
Schedule homework at a specific time and place. Encourage the use of written assignment books. Make a plan of attack. Start with easier/shorter tasks then proceed to more difficult ones. Determine whether the assignment is for completion or a grade. Offer help. Don’t force it.
