The following is a list comprised for students with Aspergers, ADHD, and bipolar disorders.
- giving them more time to work through things
- allowing them to work in a quieter, more distraction free environment
- not requiring them to do “team” based acitivities
- breaking larger assignments into smaller, more manageable pieces
- working with them one-on-one to review material and sticky points
- recognizing quickly when they are overwhelmed and starting into “avoidance” behavior
- giving oral exams and assignments when writing is a challenge
