Organizational Skills Make All The Difference

By

Y3K Tutor In Your Home often receives phone calls and emails by parents all the time asking us to help their students with organizational skills. These skills can be the difference between a poor student and a successful student. Children without organizational skills more often than not, tend to fall behind and suffer with low grades. They have trouble keeping track of assignments and/or constantly losing things.

Over the next several posts we will offer some organization tips just in time for the new school year.

By

SOCIAL CHALLENGES and LONELINESS – Some kids have a hard time in large groups and/or making friends. If this is the case for your child, the school day can be a place of isolation, awkwardness and sadness. It makes sense for one to hate being trapped 6 hours a day in a place that feels so awful.

Asperger’s & Autism-Friendly Theater Productions (Part 2)

By

There are many ways certain theater productions are becoming Asperger’s and autism – friendly. They welcome these patrons and address the sensory overload that usually would deter people with sensory problems from attending. Theaters keep the house lights on but just dimmed. The play’s noise is reduced. Actors are introduced to the audience out-of-character before the show begins. Audience members have stress balls to squeeze during the performance. People with Asperger’s or autism are free to get up and move around during the show. If the music feels too overwhelming, they can escape to a designated quiet room. Some shows offer a downloadable book telling them about the show before the day of the performance so they will know what to expect ahead of time.
