The learner may require a quiet place with no distractions, they may be sensitive to smells or light which can impact their ability to complete tasks, or they may need pressure or certain temperatures to be able to work on a task. The home setting can be adapted to meet the learner's needs whether it be a specific designated area to complete the task or the entire home being available should that be what is best for the child. ]]> 2022-11-14 00:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381933003 lic2182 https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381933349 When considering the attention needs of the learner in the home setting, parents and caregivers need to take into consideration the challenges that may impact them staying focused on their work. Different considerations include if the learner needs one-on-one supervision, how easily or if they can refocus following an interruption, how long they can sit and be engaged in the task, and how long they may be able to work when prompted. ]]> 2022-11-14 00:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381933349 lic2182 https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381933473 When considering the physical needs of the learner at home, it is important to look at what is needed by them in terms of hunger, being tired, need for movement, or overstimulation. By being proactive and determining what may be needed in these areas before attempting to complete homework, the learner can have their needs met and be able to focus on the homework tasks. ]]> 2022-11-14 00:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381933473 lic2182 https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381933627 Organization and time management in the home setting focuses on the learner's needs when it comes to staying organized and managing their time to work on and complete tasks. Areas for this include losing or forgetting to bring home assignments, getting distracted in the middle of task completion to look for supplies or resources, forgetting to turn in or losing assignments, completing an assignment in advance and then not turning it in or losing it, and difficulty with prioritizing homework tasks. ]]> 2022-11-14 00:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381933627 lic2182 https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381933790 Academic needs within the home setting are best completed through the use of academic profiles for the topic wanted such as reading, writing, or math. These profiles should be completed by the parent(s)/guardians and the classroom teacher. The learner can participate as well. These profiles focus on the learner's: 
- Range of Ability: the learner's ability to perform the activity. 
- Range of Response: the learner's emotional response to the activity.

If the learner is hungry: have the learner wash their hands and use the restroom when they come home and provide a snack. Have easy snacks available so that the learner can easily grab them before working on the homework. Continue with the learner organizing and completing the homework task. When the homework is completed, have the learner put away materials in the appropriate place and clean the work area. 
2. If the learner needs movement: have the learner complete simple exercise or activity tasks such as stretching then push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, running back and forth outside for 5 minutes etc. before moving on to the homework task. Continue by setting up materials and completing the homework. Have the learner put the materials away in the appropriate place and clean the work area.

Schedule: for learners with ASD, it is important that they have a schedule to complete a task because structure and routine is often very important to them. 
2. Prompt: reminders at set intervals can help keep track of the learner's progress and also create stopping or redirection points when a learner may become off of task, interrupted, or need that break in task completion. ]]> 2022-11-14 00:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381966582 lic2182 https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381969380 https://www.milestones.org/resources/tool-kits/homework-tool-kit

Prioritizing: using sticky notes of various colors and sizes to draw the focus to the important items and work through based on priority. Sticky notes can be used for small note taking, marking things of importance for completion, to identify different subjects or tasks, or other needs of the learner. 
2. Expandable folders: these with marked tabs help the learner to keep organized and also prioritize what task should be completed first. It helps with keeping the class notes, resources, assignments, etc. organized and in clearly marked slots so that the learner is not losing time looking for these items. ]]> 2022-11-14 00:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381978119 lic2182 https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381981986 https://blog.stageslearning.com/blog/top-strategies-for-supporting-time-management-for-those-with-autism

Providing effective tools: if the reason that the learner may not be able to complete a specific task or want to complete a task is due to needing additional assistive devices or support, be sure to have these available. Examples include: 
- Paper magnifier-allows the learner to see print larger. Helps the learner across the areas of math, reading, and writing.  
- Pencil or pen grips-for the learner to be able to hold their writing utensil better. 
-Larger supplies such as glue sticks or crayons-allows for the learner to hold and use the supplies easier. Helps the learner with writing and math tasks.
2. Extend the time frame: this allows the learner to have more time to complete the task so that it can be broken up into pieces and not appear as one large project or assignment in a small amount of time, which can be overwhelming to the learner. ]]> 2022-11-14 01:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381993191 lic2182 https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2381994277 https://news.uga.edu/break-large-tasks-down-into-smaller-more-manageable-pieces/

Auditory needs: does the learner do better in a completely quiet environment or do they do better with some kind of sound? Does the environment physically need to be modified by adding carpet or noise-canceling panels or can the learner wear noise-canceling headphones and that minimize the sound enough? Does the learner want louder sounds playing in the background or quiet music in earphones? These are all dependent on the learner. They may be able to have others around while others may need to be in their own space because their noise or talking is distracting. 
2. Visual needs: does the learner need a darker or brighter space to learn? Does the learner like things on the walls or do they like things blank so they do not get distracted? Do they need additional visual support or can they manage as is? These are all learner specific. ]]> 2022-11-14 01:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2382011693 lic2182 https://padlet.com/lic2182/pzqpbzlcny0t7n2u/wish/2382013917 https://livingautism.com/create-autism-friendly-environment/
