Tip #4. Be patient and don't be discouraged. Be loving and know that you're making headway, even if it's not as fast as you might have hoped. Your grandchild will learn at his/her pace.

This condition may limit your grandchild's ability to process information, understand his/her surroundings, and learn new things quickly. He/she may have a short attention span. Non-verbal children may find it difficult to express their needs and wants and become frustrated.

Tip #3. Manage your expectations. Even though you spend time with your grandchild, "working" together on specific goals and tasks may be a different story. It's important to remember your grandchild's disorder affects normal brain function, altering cognitive, communication and social skills as well as physical abilities.

Tip #2. Set up a mutually convenient schedule. Offer to help your grandson or granddaughter on a regular basis during the school year. Most children with special needs benefit from routines and structure. By spending personal time, even once every week or two for a few hours, you can reinforce the work being done in school with teachers and therapists.

Whether it is going to a movie, visiting an aquarium, preparing a meal or doing a few arts and crafts projects at home, it's a time to enjoy being together and creating fun memories. Taking pictures of the day's activities on a cell phone is a great way to remember the happy occasion.
