You may ask the student to do the first half and then only proceed to further instructions. In that case the student doesn’t feel rushed or swamped with the volume of work.
2. Permit overtime (within reasonable limits) for students who encounter a difficulty. Besides, it would be a good thing to cut down the length of a task sometimes.
3. Note in italics or mark with a highlighter in your lesson plans the aim you want the student to attain. His or her purposes should differ at times from those of the rest of the class. Inspect the students IEP (Individualized Education Plan) so as to know what purposes worth to intend for one or another student. The entire class might be demanded to write a paragraph about something they’ve already studied. For a student with mild mental retardation three facts relative to gained knowledge will be enough. Some things can write a student with fine motor problems; you or a peer aide could take dictation on the rest of the classroom.
4. Give visual and acoustic information. What is more, tie in hands on component whenever possible. One teacher, for example, threw a koosh ball to a student, who’s answer he wanted be heard. It helps to maintain concentration during a lesson. Acting in that way, certainly, will help all the students with their work; every student has proper learning style after all.
5. Demand from your students to do simple exercises before writing (pushing palms of hands together, pressing down tensely on a desk, clenching and unclenching fists).
