Verbal instructions

Ask your child to repeat the instruction to make sure they have taken it in and understood
Your child may need prompting, monitoring and encouragement to keep them focused on tasks
Written work

Highlight important points in written information using *asterisks*, CAPITAL LETTERS or bold.
Limit the amount of information that needs to be copied from a black or white board. Instead, give 'hand out' sheets with this information.
Other learning strategies

Provide one-to-one instruction as often as possible
A class 'buddy', who gets along well with the child, can be helpful to reinforce instructions and directions
Make sure activities have plenty of 'hands on' involvement
Schedule the most important learning to take place during the child's best concentration time(s). This is usually mornings.
Give a checklist for what the child needs to do

A quiet place, without clutter is important for homework.

You have provided a detailed response, which is great. Just make sure you reference your information...

Just a couple of things:

For "current inappropriate behavior" just list the ones mentioned in the scenario.

Also for "how you want them to behave" you need to list expected behaviors... for example:

1) Sitting still in class
2) Listening to others while talking etc.

The rest of your response seems fine!

Hope this helps,
