Tips and Tricks for Virtual Learning
Encourage parents to delineate learning time.
Advise parents of students with disabilities against having their children work on remote schoolwork during the weekends. This will help students maintain a sense of separation between school and home despite having to learn in the home setting.
Use visual icons to remind students of digital tools.
Students with working memory issues may need frequent reminders that they can use assistive technology and other digital tools to complete assignments. Consider printing out a visual icon to represent each digital tool and keeping that icon on a table near the work area, If the student gets stuck during an assignment, Parents can point to the visual icon.
