If your child is having a hard time adapting to 3rd grade try these strategies that we use throughout the school! If you'd like a more specific strategy for your child I'll be glad to work with you!Be Aware of Simple Solutions
Because children learn in a number of different ways, there is no single method for helping all children with learning disabilities. Good teaching is intentional, systematic, and takes time.
Ask Questions
It is important to know whether the strategy you are considering has been effective with other children.
Qualified researchers who will not profit by the results should conduct the study. The results should appear in respected magazines or journals, not as advertisements.
The strategy should be helpful to children with learning disabilities of the same age, sex, and ability as your child.
Consider whether the strategy will make your child feel comfortable and more independent or whether using it will make her feel embarrassed and different.
Trust Your Instinct
Many people may offer suggestions for helping your child, including teachers, therapists, and other parents. Listen to what others suggest but remember that you know your child best. Gather information, ask questions, and then use those strategies that seem to be most appropriate for your child.
