抽了這一段落,媽媽要細讀
Accommodations at home are similar to school
1. Reduce Background Noise
If you are trying to have a conversation with your child, quiet is the best way to do this. If you are unable to have quiet environment, then understand that the child may not be able to hear what you have said. Being patient, and even using sign language, will assist in communication. This is particular true in situations like parties, shopping malls or places where there are multiple noises occurring at once. Also, turning off the TV while talking is a must for kids with APD.
2. Consider your distance
How far away you are makes a huge difference in the ability to hear. Being within 3 feet helps defer extraneous noise. Don't shout information or request across the room, and definitely don't shout them from another room. Again, if your child doesn't do what you ask, remember there is a good change he did not understand what you said.
3. Obtain visual attention
This one helps my son so much. I get eye contact from him by tapping him on the shoulder and asking him to look at me. This really improves our communication. I believe he may have learned to read lips a bit, and so he uses that when looking at my face. Note that looking at lips instead of the face is a symptom of autism, which is probably why my son was sometimes considered to be autistic.
4. Slow down speech
This doesn't mean super slow. It just means to talk at a consistent pace and pause between ideas.
5. Make the child responsible for understanding
Ask your child to repeat back what you said so you can confirm he understood you correctly. So often we just assume the child got it, and you would be surprised how often he mishears things.
6. Create a homework space
Auditory distractions are so huge for kids with APD. Homework is very difficult if there are even small noises like a fan or lawnmower outside. Consider this when creating your child's homework space. If there are noisy siblings, keep them in other areas of the house, or arrange for them to participate in activities outside the house. Most importantly, your child may need to do homework in several small 5-10 minutes sessions because the energy required to focus is intense. Give your child leeway and don't expect them to sit for 30-60 minutes if they are really struggling with it.
7. Think before criticizing
When your child does not respond, or the response is not what you wanted, please remember that it's highly likely your child did not hear you correctly. Before getting angry and punishing, remember this, and try to clarify instructions before jumping to conclusions.
8. Simplify requests
Break multi-step directions into one or two parts before continuing on to the next piece. Children with APD need time to take in and process what is said, and often exhibit short-term memory issues. A child with APD will struggle to process was you said 10 seconds ago and isn't always able to continue listening and taken in more information. Space out directions for better understanding and comprehension.
9. Consider sensory issues
Many children with APD have additional sensory issues that complicate that cause them to get overstimulated. In this state their APD is aggravating and listening and focusing are even harder. Be aware of this at home. Our son cannot deal with a lot of loud noise. If his brother is being too rambunctious, he will seek out the quiet of his room. While we live in a small house, we made a point of making a space that was his so he could retreat to it whenever he felt overwhelmed.
10. The end of the day will be the hardest
After a full day of focused processing your child is going to be very tired. Take this into consideration when planning evening activities. Don't expect your child to be able to do homework late, and be accommodating if he would rather just spend some time alone or doing quiet activities.
11. Create a signal for important information
All children have some degree of challenges when it comes to paying attention and listening. The child with APD has this even more so. An effective tool is to have some sort of signal that indicates to the child that you have to talk to him about something important. For example, perhaps you have to go over the morning schedule because something about it has changed. Consider the following signals that can indicate to your child that they should listen, then repeat back what you said so you know they have understood:
Sometimes the combination of sounds in a sentence are difficult to process for an APD child. If they cannot understand what you are saying, try using different words. For Example, if the child does not understand when you say, "Please brush your teeth and wash up so you can get ready for bed." then try rephrasing it. Instead maybe say, "It's time for bed. Use your toothbrush and clean your hands and face." Simple rephrasing may eliminate specific phonic sounds the child has greater difficult with.

最近媽媽愛看食譜: 健康沙拉、Gluten Pumpkin Bun
昨天,媽媽給自己弄salad當午餐.Dressing是看網上,忘了是那個網頁,滿健康的dressing,就:Lemon, Extra virgin olive oil, Sea salt, Honey.媽媽弄的Salad: Head lettuce, Carrot, Cherry tomato, Zucchini, Macadamia. 媽媽還想這樣吃,能飽嗎?吃了這麼一碗,還真的挺飽的.(◕‿◕)
媽媽常常看到朋友在FB貼上自製各式各樣的麵包,好好吃的樣子,媽媽好愛喔.媽媽是很愛吃麵包,不過媽媽卻不曾自己做麵包.有!有弄過一次,那種調好的麵包粉,結果,還是不好吃那種.
第1次烘培,弄的不是麵包,是你吃的米包. (￣.￣)+ …
上個星期媽媽成功弄了披薩.這幾天晚上,媽媽掛在網上,找了簡易弄的小麵包.還要那種milk free的.今午趁你睡午覺時,媽媽開始備料什麼的.然後就把材料倒進麵包機(我們家的烤箱是多功能那種).你醒了!麵包在攪拌之時,媽媽弄蔬果給你當點心:奇異果、玻璃生菜、小番茄、巴西豆.你還是不喜歡吃小番茄.硬塞給媽媽吃.(╯﹏╰)
從4點多弄倒5點多,麵包團才弄好.好囉!做造型...嘿嘿!(￣ー￣)
爸爸放工回來,看到.◎_◎
"Croissant 嗎???"
啊哈哈~就想說試著弄弄看.媽媽上網看到人家弄的bun shaping,好好玩!
好啦!媽媽的南瓜麵包,完成囉!不錯看,是不是?!只是淡口味!呵呵~就不甜也不鹹.健康麵包嘛!不過不是Gluten free喔!所以寶貝不能吃.

Garlic, 蒜頭
今天媽媽在備晚餐時,腦子閃過這個關於蒜頭的事.
上個星期一吧!媽媽跟Aunt Lilian, Irene, PH and Sheet, 午後小聚餐.然後聊起了蒜頭煮食.Irene跟媽媽分享如何保存蒜頭,還有增強蒜頭酵素作用.她說,把蒜頭切碎,加油,裝罐,可以保存很久,而且酵素成份很高.--大概是這樣.
媽媽有用蒜頭炒菜,煮湯.生吃嗎?感冒的時候吧!弄碎後沖水給你喝.
到底怎麼用最有效呢?
過程就在於Alliin-->Allicin.
然後問題在於即食還是要待食?煮過或生吃?
媽媽還在研讀-ing.
這篇文獻討論得很仔細, WHfoods.org

Chapped Lip
最近幾天,媽媽的唇又開始犯乾.
吼~怎麼會呢?媽媽天天有補充蔬果,而且最近媽媽還很故意吃得"健康些".氣候的問題嗎?還是媽媽又無意識地添唇咬唇? 缺乏維生素? 還是,...
不管啦!媽媽就是多補充水份.護唇膏(用那個"V"牌子)...雖然沒什麼有效.噢~想到那個"神油"也許有用.*@_@*就是那個囉!-->"椰油" 呵呵~昨天睡前有用了,今晚也塗了些.嗯~沒有惡化!白天,勤勞點,補護唇膏.
以前用了好幾個月時間才擺脫"裂唇"的苦惱!那時候怎麼好的?媽媽也忘了.那時候好像是兩三年前的事了.那時候媽媽用了好多牌子的護唇膏,試用了好多方法,唇乾裂的問題還是很讓人煩惱,後來的後來,...就好了.媽媽就是忘了怎麼好的.
