My child is on the autism spectrum and is considered high-functioning. She is currently performing below grade level in both Math and Reading and requires targeted academic support in these areas. She experiences challenges with comprehension, retention of information, and sustaining attention during instruction. When she understands the material and feels confident in her abilities, she is highly motivated and demonstrates a strong desire to learn. However, when she encounters difficulty or does not fully understand a concept, she can become easily overwhelmed, which may lead to frustration and disengagement. Providing structured support, clear explanations, and positive reinforcement helps her remain engaged and successful in her learning.
