Hi Willa:
I think that I might have some ideas, from an OT perspective, but I'm not sure I know what you are referring to. Can you be more specific or are you at a point where you aren't sure what the specifics are?! BTDT!
When I'm structuring supports for a child I see in OT I use their strengths all the time, to compensate for the difficulties. So a child who has poor verbal skills but responds to pictures might get visual cues like picture schedules or checklists. A child who is visually oriented but can't write a paragraph might get graphic organizers. A child who can't focus visually but has good tactile processing might get manipulatives for a certain task.
Is that the kind of stuff you are referring to? Like how to provide compensatory strategies that pull on his strengths?
