Achievement & Focus
If an academic achievement area is weak, then concentration is often vulnerable in that particular area, though not when the child is doing assignments in other academic areas.

| Complete the academic area of difficulty at a different time than other academic areas, tackling the hardest area at time when the child is the least tired | |
| Allow independence for work completion in other academic areas, but provide assistance and/or remain in close proximity for the area of difficulty | |
| Try to schedule the “hard class” at a time that is best conducive for the child; for instance, if the child is a morning person and has a weakness in math, then try getting up early to do math homework or try to schedule math class as the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd period in school | |
| Work a little bit each day on academic assignments that are difficult rather than for a prolonged period in a single day | |
