Recommendations for the Learning Environment

Supporting Attention, Executive Function, and Emotional Regulation

Fueling Attention and Executive Function
Students who struggle with attention and executive skills benefit from regular "recharging" breaks. Sensory activities like fidget tools, standing desks, chair bands, or brief exercise can help maintain focus. Tools like noise-canceling headphones, vibrating watches, or visual reminders also support sustained attention.

Written Directions and Visual Aids
Provide step-by-step written instructions to reduce distractions and memory strain. Use eye contact, minimize background noise, and break instructions into small parts. Encourage students to repeat instructions to confirm understanding.

Impulse Control Strategies
Frequent check-ins, visual reminders, and building in time to pause and review work help students manage impulsivity.

Coaching Support
A brief daily check-in with a coach can support organization, time management, and task completion. Tools like WatchMinder watches or mentoring younger students also build accountability and confidence.

Homework Modifications
Focus on mastery with fewer items instead of repetition. Use step-by-step lists with built-in rewards. Vary study locations and sensory stimulation to maintain engagement.

Home-School Communication
Strong parent-teacher communication is essential for behavior plans. Strategies should be flexible and refreshed regularly.

Nonverbal Prompts
Nonverbal cues like proximity or gentle touch can redirect attention without drawing unwanted attention from peers.

Task Prioritization and Routines
Help break down assignments, prioritize tasks, and build structured homework routines using memory strategies like acronyms.

Healthy Lifestyle
Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, sensory activities, and strong sleep routines are vital for emotional regulation and executive functioning.

Behavior and Compliance Support
Ross Greene’s "Collaborative Problem Solving" approach encourages understanding skill deficits rather than seeing behavior as misbehavior. Daily positive attention, praise, offering choices, logical consequences, and incentive-based discipline (like "Grandma’s Rule") also help build cooperation.

Friendships, Bullying, and Emotional Resilience
Building resilience and a growth mindset improves confidence and success. Resources like MindsetWorks.com and Understood.org offer tools for parents and teachers.

Emotional Regulation
Teach students to label emotions, use breathing and relaxation exercises, and tolerate distress instead of avoiding it. Building awareness of positive experiences strengthens emotional resilience.
