Daily Schedule
Kids thrive on schedules and structure. Some pointers:
*Set a wake up time each day
*Get dressed, take care of personal hygiene, eat breakfast etc.
*Do the assignments that are most difficult/uninteresting FIRST
*Be sure to get outside for some physical activity (30 minutes daily) - bike rides, walking, running, swimming etc. (using social distancing rules)
Here are the guidelines for how long students should be working in each course/platform rule of thumb: use the 45/15 rule - up to 45 minutes of work, 15 minute brain break - have a snack, stretch, go outside, draw, talk to family members etc.
If you are currently an ADAPT client, they are continuing to provide services virtually. If you are having difficulty reaching your assigned therapist, please contact them at Ormond@adapt-fl.com
They are also accepting new clients at this time

Tip for parents/students/staff:
Self-care isn't selfish, it's essential. No-one's perfect. But so often we compare our insides to other people's outsides. This month we're encouraging everyone to be kinder to themselves (as well as others), especially when things go wrong. Self-care increases our resilience and helps us get more out of life. It also helps us accept others as they are too.
