Aaron is bright, but unfocused. He often completes his homework, but fails to hand it in. Which of the following strategies might help Aaron?
  1. Allow Aaron to see you marking completed homework in the grade book.
  2. Don’t worry about the homework. Aaron is just impulsive.
  3. Send Aaron to the resource room.
  4. Take away privileges.
Explanation
Answer: A-Sometimes children don’t understand how a teacher evaluates progress or understand the significance of completing assignments. Many children, especially children with LD, are embarrassed or afraid to turn in homework because it doesn’t meet expectations. If this is the case, relax the standards for a while and praise the child for his efforts. Although taking away privileges rarely works to motivate a child, enforcing logical consequences may be effective. A logical consequence for failing to turn in homework might be that Aaron has to complete it during recess or gym time.
