A possible solution to this problem is to, look for the initial cause of the over stimulation and remove it. If this is not possible, the team could brain storm ways to adapt or accommodate. For example, Jon was having difficulty walking through the halls at school because the noise from all the classrooms was bothersome. It was not an option to avoid walking through the halls. Instead, the team gave Jon a set of headphones with a tape and played the tape while he walked through the halls.
Some children have difficulty staying awake during large portions of the school day.
As stated earlier, the team should determine the possible source of the problem. A team should consider many possible causes and understand that there are typically multiple causes. Because the sleep patterns may be beyond your control, consider scheduling activities around the child's sleep pattern, or find positions that encourage the child to stay awake and alert. Positioning should be done during the normal course of the classroom day to support a child's participation into an activity. The occupational therapist and physical therapist should work with the staff to help determine appropriate positions, equipment and appropriate forms of lifting.
