<span>Will some of these ideas help? Not sure if you are talking about auditory processing...
How parents can help their child with language processing difficulties:</span>
• Use visual support to supplement auditorally presented information
• Present new information in a multi-modality and context-rich environment to tap into the other senses
• Allow more “thinking time” to prevent unnecessary pressure during moments of difficulty
• Encourage your child to request repetition or help, rather than simply saying “I don’t know” during moments of difficulty
• Encourage your child to seek out a “study buddy” to check information during class assignments
• Make sure your child is ready to listen before you begin speaking
• Explain idioms or figurative language to your child. For example, don’t assume your child knows what you mean when you say “keep a lid on it”
• Use a tape recorder to record class lectures
• Increase your child’s awareness of his or her strengths by providing frequent positive encouragement
