Top 10 Tips to Help Your Learning Disabled Student with HomeworkHomework can be a real challenge for students with learning disabilities. Apart from having difficulty in the area of disability, lack of organization can create more of a problem for these students and lead to all-nighter homework sessions. Helping our students prepare for success ahead of time will increase their confidence, support their work, and reduce their stress. 1. Create a Study Area Designed for Your Child's SuccessAs you're making mental notes about how to prepare for school, take a constructive survey of your student's study area. It is important to create a study area that is free from distractions such as television or noisy siblings and free of clutter. It is also important that the student have ready access to school supplies and reference materials.2. Gather a Collection of Appropriate Reference Books and ResourcesChoose appropriate reference materials. Talk with your child's teachers about types of materials provided at school. If possible, choose materials those your child uses during the day. This will increase study time efficiency and effectiveness. Provide a dictionary and encyclopedia. Online resources are also good, but books have benefits not duplicated on the web such as improving ability to alphabetize and having multiple resources visible at once.3. Consider CD-ROM Resources to Supplement the InternetWhen using the Internet, remember that a dial-up connection can be painstakingly slow. If you feel that using the computer is a priority, consider using CD-ROM reference materials when possible.
