Of course the florscent lights are a huge issue, she said to have the child put by the window and with a desk lamp. Maybe picture board for planning, can print picture cards for free online. Ummmmmm, I will look through some of my books and get back to ya!
Thanks so much. His OT at school has been trying colored overlays with him for reading and it seems to be really helping. I will try the pastel paper as well. I hadn't thought of that. The overlays will not help him with the writing, but maybe pastel paper will. I may look into getting Irlin glasses for him (if I save my $$!), since the overlays seem to be working. He is by a window, but it is right over the school playground . I did order him sound reducing ear muffs, I will see if they help.
I have heard games like Simon are helpful. This will probably be a lot of trial and error.
