I have a child with SEN. How can I stop my child getting overloaded?

Have plenty of breaks. Even short breaks of 5-10 minutes can help the absorption of new learning.A child’s attention span usually ranges from 20 minutes to 50 minutes. Most adults start to lose concentration after 20 minutes if the activity is not varied. Start with less and increase gradually. Vary the activities within each session.

Make sure your child rests to recover from activity and brain overload. Avoid talking about work in their break times.
