**Homework Time - Attention**
* **Sustaining Attention:** Demo finds it tricky to keep his focus on his maths sheet once he's done the first few questions, and he might start drawing on the paper instead.

A Day in Demo's Life
Demo's day often starts a little hazy, and he might need a gentle reminder of what's on the agenda and where he needs to be. Getting his bearings in a new space can take a few minutes, and sometimes he asks for reassurance about who he's meeting with or what items he needs for an activity. Understanding these little orientation challenges helps us set Demo up for success with clear routines and helpful cues throughout the day.
