MANY PARENTS WITH STUDENTS WHO HAVE LEARNING DIFFERENCES MIGHT FIND THAT ONLINE LEARNING IS
DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU
HAVE A CHILD WITH VARYING
ABILITIES. SO ONE MIGHT BREEZE
THROUGH IT. WHILE ANOTHER MIGHT NEED CONSTANT HELP OR ASSURANCE THAT THEY’RE GETTING IT RIGHT.
BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT
PARENTS CAN DO TO HELP THEIR
STUDENT NOT FALL BEHIND
WITH ONLINE LEARNING SO JOINING
ME NOW TO DISCUSS THIS METHOD
IS KIMBERLY MULLINS, THE
DIRECTOR OF THE TUTORING CLUB
OF SAINT JOHNS COUNTY, THANKS
SO MUCH FOR COMING IN AND
TALKING WITH US TODAY. YOU KNOW
CAMP, SO YOU RUN A TUTORING
CENTER. BUT YOU STILL FELT
OVERWHELMED BY THE VIRTUAL
EXPERIENCE THAT WE ALL WERE
FORCED INTO IN THE SPRING.
SO WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO PUSH
THIS A LITTLE FURTHER NOW.
>> YEAH, IT’S YOU KNOW BEING
THE PARENT OF ADHD STUDENT
SHE’S ACTUALLY CONSIDERED TWICE
EXCEPTIONAL SHE’S GIFTED TO SEE
EACH THE THERE’S JUST A LOT OF
THINGS THAT HAPPENED DURING
THAT PERIOD THAT MEAN YOU
REALIZE HOW DIFFICULT THE
ONLINE LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR
ADHD STUDENTS AND TRYING TO KEEP THEM FOCUSED ON TRYING TO KEEP THEM, YOU KNOW
REDIRECTED IN AND ALL OF THAT
SO IT REALLY WAS MY OWN
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT
PROMPTED ME TO TRY TO FIGURE
OUT HOW CAN WE DO BETTER HOW
CAN WE MAKE SURE OUR ALL OF OUR
PARENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE HELP
THEY NEED AND I MEAN YOU THINK
ABOUT.
>>LAUREN VERNO: IN THE
CLASSROOM. THE TEACHER IS THERE
SO SHE
CAN SAY, HEY YOU KNOW ARE YOU
STILL WITH US ARE KIND OF YOU
KNOW SNAP AND MAKE SURE THAT
THEIR FOCUS ONLINE IT’S MUCH
DIFFERENT. SO WHAT ARE SOME OF
THE OTHER REASONS ONLINE CAN BE
SO CHALLENGING FOR THESE
STUDENTS.
>> YEAH IN A LOT OF THESE
STUDENTS TO PUTTING ON THEIR
LEARNING DIFFERENCES, THEY
MIGHT TO SENATORS WOULD HAVE TO
TOUCH AND FEEL AND MOVE TO GET
IT TO WHERE THEY MIGHT BE
READY FOR WHERE THE BODY WAS
JUST NOT ENOUGH FOR THE VISUAL
IS NOT ENOUGH OR THEY COULD
HAVE AN OCULAR PROCESSING ISSUE
WHERE THEY REALLY CAN’T READ
OFF OF THE SCREEN IN THE
STRESS I I MEAN FOR HAVING TO
SIT IN FRONT OF A SCREEN FOR
LONG HOURS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT
FOR THEM. SO ON TOP OF THAT YOU PUT THE FACT THAT THERE’S NO SET ROUTINE THEY DON’T GET UP
AT CERTAIN TIMES ISN’T YOU KNOW
MOST OF US AS PARENTS WERE
BUSY. WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF
TIME TO JUST SIT THERE AND
LITERALLY MANAGE THEIR DAY
MINUTE BY MINUTE. SO IT PUTS
MORE COMPLEXITIES IN TO TRY TO
KEEP THE ROUTINE FOR THEM.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW I HAVE
A A SUN GOING TO 3RD GRADE
DAUGHTER GOING TO FIRST, I
LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THEM AND
MY DAUGHTER WAS LIKE I’M DONE
I’VE GOT MOM WHAT’S NEXT TO MY
SON HE’S THE ONE WHO HAD TO
KIND OF SIT THERE AND BE LIKE
ARE YOU KEEPING UP ARE YOU
DOING WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO
DO.
>>LAUREN VERNO: AND I LOVE THIS
PROGRAM THAT YOU COME UP WITH
YOU USING 5 THINGS THAT YOU
BELIEVE WILL HELP STUDENTS TO
REALLY GRASP CONCEPTS BETTER
WHEN THEY’RE LEARNING VIRTUALLY
OR IN GENERAL HONESTLY CAN YOU
EXPLAIN THEM.
>> YEAH ABSOLUTELY SO WE’VE SET
UP A DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM
AT THE TURIN CLUB SAINT JOHN’S
IT HAS 5 KEY POINTS TO ONE IS A
SOLID ROUTINE. I WE MAKE SURE
THAT THE KIDS HAVE CERTAIN
TIMES THAT YOU WANT
TO WORK WE’RE GOING TO HAVE
STEAM ACTIVITIES WOMEN EXERCISE
FOR THE RETURN OF SOCIALIZING
TIME AND TIME TO HAVE FUN
AND THE SECOND IS MAKE SURE
IT’S MULTI-SENSORY IT’S NOT
JUST SITTING IN FRONT OF A
A READING OR LISTENING IT’S
INTERACTING WITH THE CERTIFIED
TEACHER IT’S MAKING SURE THAT
WE’RE USING WHITE WE’LL SEE IS
A LOT OF NEW ONYX A LOT OF THE
STUDENTS HAVE SHORT-TERM
PROCESSING OR ISSUES WHERE
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO REMEMBER
EVERY 6 WE’RE GOING TO COME UP
WITH IDEAS AWAY SAID, WE CAN
HELP THEM TO REMEMBER THINGS A
LITTLE BETTER. AND OF
COURSE REPETITION A LOT OF THE
STUDENTS JUST NEED MORE
REPETITION OF THE NEW
NORMAL STUDENT. AND OF COURSE
WE’LL HAVE SOME FUN LEARNING IS
ALL ABOUT EMOTION AND HE WILL
ME INVOLVING MOTIONS ARE GOING
TO LEARN MORE THAN ALERT FASTER
AND THEY’RE GOING TO ENJOY
THEIR EXPERIENCE YEAH HONESTLY
AT THIS STUFF AND WE MADE IT
THE SOUL SONG ODD NUMBERS EVEN
NUMBER-ONE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH
IT AND IT’S LITERALLY THE ONE
THING THEY REMEMBER FROM.
>> THE SPRING THAT I REALLY
WORKED WITH THEM
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR
PROGRAM IT’S AVAILABLE FOR
PARENTS AT 2 DIFFERENT WAYS
FULL
OR HALF-DAY IT REALLY DOES
OFFER THAT SUPPORT SO THAT
THEY’RE NOT JUST KIND OF HAVE
TO DO EVERYTHING.
>> YEAH IT WAS REALLY CREATED
BASED ON MY
IT IS SO THE IF YOU HAVE TO
EXPERIENCE IT SPENT 2 AND A
HALF WE GO WAR EITHER 9 TO 1130
OR
12 TO 2.30. AND THE LITERALLY
HAVE A STRUCTURED SENSE JUST
LIKE SCHOOL WE DO WORK FOR A
SHORT SURGERY, A WE HAVE A
BREAK WE GET SOME SOCIAL
INTERACTION WITH ITS LEFT TO
GET TOUGH AND THAT WE DO A
LITTLE MORE WORK AND WE
TURN AT AND WE WRAP WE’RE GOING
TO INCLUDE INTO THE CULPRITS
MINDSET IN THIS PROGRAM TALKING
ABOUT THINGS FAILURES AND
HELPING THE KIDS
TO REALLY PEOPLE THAT I CAN DO
THIS I MIGHT NOT KNOW IT YET
BUT I’M GOING TO LEARN THAT
MENTALITY TO HELP THEM BE ABLE
TO PUSH THROUGH ALL THEIR OTHER
EXPERIENCES AS THEY GO
TO SCHOOL.
>>LAUREN VERNO: HEY I KNOW THAT

IT HAPPEN.
