Kids with Asperger’s and language based disabilities can be sensitive and take things the wrong way. You should use simple, direct, and brief language with them. Then clarify so they understand.
Eyes and Focus
Kids eyes should be checked yearly. Eye problems like nearsightedness can cause headaches, lack of comprehension, fatigue and loss of focus.
Teeth and Learning
Kids teeth should be checked twice per year. Poor learning may be from pain of cavities, misaligned teeth, or grinding teeth at night.
