Teaching Strategies
For students with brain injuries
By Janet Tyler, Jean Blosser & Roberta DePompei ~ 1999
Because each child is unique, there is no one teaching program that will be applicable to all students with brain injuries. However, by remediation, adapting instruction or modifying the environment, the student can have greater opportunities for success in the classroom and community.
This tip card provides examples of teaching strategies that can be used to provide support and assistance for students with brain injuries. Use the following strategies to support the student during learning activities and class assignments.
Attention/Concentration
The ability to maintain awareness over an extended period of time and accurately respond or complete a task.
§ Reduce distractions in student’s work area (re-move extra pencils, books, etc.).
§ Divide work into smaller sections. Have student complete one section at a time. Suggest times and expectations for completion.
§ Ask student to orally summarize information that has just been presented.
§ Use cue words to alert student to pay attention (e.g., “listen”, “look”, “name” etc.).
§ Establish nonverbal cueing system (e.g. eye contact, touch etc.) to remind student to pay attention.
