Teacher Strategies to Use at Home Part 1: Scaffolding
Today, we are starting a little mini-series on teaching strategies you can use at home. We are kicking off the series with scaffolding and the related strategy of gradual release. These are deliberate strategies teachers use to help kids master a skill WITHOUT throwing them in the deep end, letting them fail, or doing it for them. We talk about what these strategies are, why they work, and how you can use them at home with your kids. If we're a good fit for you, join our communities! We would love to have you!

Why Can My Kid Sometimes Do Something but Other Times They Can’t?
Today, we're talking about the dynamic nature of neurodivergence. If you have ever wondered why you or your kid can do a routine one day but not the next, or remember math facts in the morning but not in the afternoon, we are getting into it! We talk about what neurodivergence being dynamic means, what this looks like, the factors that commonly make symptoms better or worse, and how we can use this knowledge to support ourselves and our kids.

Preparing the Environment
Preparing the environment is just a fancy way of saying setting up the environment for your kid (or yourself!) to be successful. Preparing the environment doesn’t guarantee that your kid will do the thing independently, but it does make it possible! It’s like building the foundation of the house.
