As the Holiday season comes to a close your child with Autism is ready to go back to school, which means, you are getting ready to help your child with their homework again.
No one likes homework, not you, not your child, not anyone! But homework must be done, which is why we are sharing these tips to help you support your Autistic child with their homework:
- Motivating With Kindness– Children with ASD respond well to rewards, so as you are working your way through homework, make sure to keep positive and offer verbal compliments, as well as physical rewards, to reinforce good behavior.
- Reinforcing Values– The more you repeat something, the more it sticks. So make sure that you keep reinforcing the value that homework is important and must be done. Autistic children work well with rules and boundaries, so the more you reiterate the importance of homework, the less likely your child will give you a hard time with it.
- Create a Routine– As a parent of a child with ASD, you know that routine is everything! So why would homework be any different? Keep your child on a strict schedule that includes homework as a part of their daily routine. It will help your child stay focused, and works to alleviate the fight of getting your child to do their homework every day.
