So, on to "attention." We realized as we all read through and discussed the observations conducted in school that the "attention" was overwhelmingly a problem in transitions. DS just cannot seem to accommplish the multistep tasks without getting lost. Teacher admitted that she thought prior to observations that he never was on-task ... She said she realized reading the observations that he gets lost in transitions and they are often transitioning from one place to another, etc. and he gets so lost in that it seems like he's never on-task but a lot of it is due his getting lost in the transition and needing assistance and being behind because of that. For example, here is a scenario: math class is over, DS can not put his math materials away in all their proper places, then get up go to his cubby, get his 100 book challenge bag, get back to his desk and get out his book. This kid is so bright and simply can not accomplish that without taking way too long, getting lost/forgetting steps, not being able to get his things away, or out, etc. By the time he gets all that done and gets to his desk he's missed all of the directions for the next activity and/or doesn't know what page they are on or whatever ...
Does anyone have any idea how to help this? What could help with this?
