Executive Function Success #5: Visual

January 22, 2018 By Y3K

Sometimes students with executive function issues respond well to visual cues.  Use images rather than words. Pictures and colors work great.

Cold and Flu Season

January 17, 2018 By Y3K

Please keep your child home from school if they have:

  • A fever of 100 degrees or more in the past 24 hours
  • A diagnosis of a communicable disease
  • A cold in the active stages: coughing, running nose, and sneezing
  • A sore throat and/or swollen neck glands
  • An undiagnosed rash or skin eruption
  • Vomiting or diarrhea during the past 24 hours
  • Acute pain that requires relief by narcotic medication

If all families did their part, the spread of disease would be greatly reduced.

Strep Throat, Stay Home!

January 13, 2018 By Y3K

It is currently cold and flu season throughout the country. We would like to remind you of an example of when your child should be kept home from school. If all families did their part, the spread of disease would be greatly reduced. Colds and flu can spread so easily, so it’s important that parents take precautions to prevent others from catching it.

If your child is diagnosed with strep throat, 24 hours of antibiotic therapy is required before returning to school. Besides harming everyone else with these viruses, respiratory infections can trigger an asthma attack in certain susceptible children. We need to prevent these asthma attacks so keeping your student home from school can help. Parents need to be careful with their children. If they seem unwell, it’s probably better to keep them at home. This will keep everyone safe.

PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES #17

PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES

The Y3K Tutor In Your Home owner has worked with my high school student for the past two years, helping with executive function, study skills, organization, time management, and homework coaching.  I am so grateful for his ability to act as coach, cheerleader and drill sergeant, often all at once. He enters our home with great energy no matter how late it is or how many students he may already have seen, and is instantly asking my student about last week’s test or homework assignment. He remembers the details of my student’s assignments – often better than the student does! The tutor presses gently but persistently until the results or outcomes are revealed. He has helped our student understand the importance of taking homework seriously and keeping up with it. He has contributed greatly to our student’s ability to track the volume of work and plan ahead for the coming week. This tutor is able to hold our student accountable and encourage the best effort in a way we, the parents, cannot do without a huge fight. We’re really grateful for his work and highly recommend him without reservations.

Executive Function Success #2: “To Do” Lists
