Modify the Task

In order to help your child experience success, it can be helpful to change aspects of an activity that are difficult for them. For example:

• Size and weight of the tools used
• Time allowed for completing the task
• Structure of the task
• Use of technology

Examples of Modifying the Task

• Use large blow-up balls in physical education class because they are easier to catch/kick and they move more slowly
• Use an electric toothbrush
• Use a computer for writing

To Write or To Type is a helpful guide for deciding whether to have your child use a computer for writing.
