High Priority

For Home & School
🏠
Attention & FocusEnvironmental adjustment

Reduce environmental distractions in work areas

Why This Matters

Attention and focus are like Demo's superpower for learning and exploring at home! When Demo finds it tricky to keep his attention on one thing, it can make finishing tasks like homework or even enjoying playtime a bit harder. With some understanding and helpful strategies, we can help Demo shine as he learns and grows.

How to Implement
  • Create a quiet, clutter-free workspace. Use noise-cancelling headphones if helpful. Position seating away from high-traffic areas.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • Demo will complete tasks more independently
  • Reduced frustration during longer activities
  • Better engagement in learning
  • Increased confidence in tackling challenging work
Need identified:At HomeAt School
🎯
Memory & RecallSkill development

Use visual aids and memory strategies

Why This Matters

Memory and recall are like Demo's mental notepad, helping him remember instructions and daily routines. When Demo has strong recall, he can follow multi-step directions for chores, remember what he needs to pack for after-school activities, and share details about his day. With some support, we can help Demo build his memory skills at home!

How to Implement
  • Teach mnemonic devices. Use graphic organizers. Create visual associations for key information.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • Demo will remember instructions more easily
  • Reduced need for repeated reminders
  • Better task completion
  • Less frustration with multi-step activities

🤝
Controlling MovementsScaffolding and support

Build in heavy work activities

Why This Matters

Controlling his movements helps Demo explore and interact with his toys and environment at home. Sometimes Demo gets stuck repeating movements, and support to switch activities can help him discover new ways to play. When Demo can control his body, he can show you what he is interested in and be more independent.

How to Implement
  • Include pushing, pulling, carrying activities. Use weighted items during transitions. Offer proprioceptive input opportunities.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • Demo will move more confidently
  • Improved handwriting and fine motor tasks
  • Better participation in physical activities
  • Increased independence with daily tasks
Need identified:At HomeAt School
🤝
Energy, Motivation & Impulse ControlScaffolding and support

Build in regular energy breaks throughout the day

Why This Matters

When Demo has the energy and motivation to focus, and can manage impulses, home life flows more smoothly for everyone. It means Demo can handle everyday stresses, stay safe, and manage his own behaviour more easily. Developing these skills will allow Demo to participate more fully in family life and build his independence at home.

How to Implement
  • Schedule activity breaks between sedentary tasks. Allow standing or walking during some activities.
  • Start with small, achievable goals
  • Adjust based on response and feedback
Expected Impact
  • Demo will show more consistent energy levels
  • Increased engagement with challenging tasks
  • Better pacing throughout the day
  • Improved motivation for less-preferred activities
