While your first response to learning that your child has a learning disability is shock or concern, you are actually in a great position. Now that you know what has been impeding your child’s progress at school, you can now start taking steps to correct the problem. One way that you can improve your child’s ability to learn at home is to set up their study space properly.
Many learning disabilities impair your child’s ability to focus. Therefore, to create the more effective study zone possible you need to minimize distractions. To start with you will want to address visual distractions. To do this you will want to reduce the clutter in the study zone and create visual blockers, similar to a mini-cubical partition, to keep your child’s attention from being distracted by movement around them.
Next you want to minimize audio distractions. This means turning off televisions and radios, and keeping friends and family members away from the study zone. This will help your child to focus on their homework. Some kids with auditory sensitivities may also benefit from noise cancellation headphones as well.
The final distractions that you will want to work on are physical environment distractions. For example temperature and lighting both can be adjusted to improve the comfort level of the study zone. Comfortable furniture is also important to an effective study zone.
To create home tutoring environments that are comfortable and functional, will help the tutoring services that you hire to deliver effective math tutoring to your child with the least amount of effort.
