About Learning Support Guide

Your child has ADHD, dyslexia, or another learning difference. School says they are "not trying hard enough." You know that is not true. They are trying harder than anyone in that classroom. They just need strategies that work with their brain, not against it.

This prompt generates practical, home-based support strategies tailored to your child's specific learning difference, [CHILD_AGE], and current struggles. Tell it the diagnosis (or describe the challenges if there is no formal diagnosis yet), what [STRUGGLE_AREAS] are hardest, what supports are already in place at school, and the specific situation you need help with right now. Include [GRADE_LEVEL] for academically appropriate strategies. The output gives you techniques that match how your child's brain processes information, ways to build on their strengths, communication scripts for advocating with teachers, and steps to help your child develop self-advocacy skills.

The strategies are actionable, not theoretical. "Use a visual timer for homework sessions" beats "provide structure." The prompt also connects your child's strengths to their challenges. A kid with ADHD who can hyperfocus on Legos for 3 hours has strong sustained attention, just not for everything. Building from strengths changes the narrative from "what is wrong" to "how do we work with this."

Run this through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or save your strategies in the Dock Editor. For specific homework help when your child is stuck on a concept, the Homework Help Explainer generates age-appropriate explanations across all subjects. When you need to write to teachers about accommodations, the School Communication Assistant helps frame IEP and 504 requests professionally.

How to Use Learning Support Guide

1

Copy the template

Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or the Dock Editor to get started.

2

Enter your child's profile

Add [CHILD_AGE] and [GRADE_LEVEL]. Select [LEARNING_DIFFERENCE] from the list. If your child is not formally diagnosed, choose "not formally diagnosed but struggling" and describe what you observe in [STRUGGLE_AREAS].

3

Describe struggles and strengths

Be specific in [STRUGGLE_AREAS]: "cannot organize a five-paragraph essay" or "loses track during multi-step math problems." Fill in [STRENGTHS] too. The prompt builds strategies that connect strengths to challenge areas.

4

Add current school supports

List existing supports in [CURRENT_SUPPORTS]: IEP goals, 504 accommodations, tutoring, resource room time. The prompt avoids duplicating what school already provides and fills gaps in home support.

5

Focus on one situation

Select [SPECIFIC_SITUATION] to get targeted strategies. "Homework struggles" gives very different advice than "advocating with the school." Pick the most urgent area and implement those strategies first. Come back for others later.

Who Uses Learning Support Guide

Parents of newly diagnosed children

A fresh diagnosis can feel overwhelming. The prompt translates clinical recommendations into daily routines: what to do at homework time, how to organize the backpack, which study techniques match your child's processing style.

Parents advocating for school accommodations

Select "advocating with the school" for [SPECIFIC_SITUATION] and get communication scripts, meeting preparation checklists, and guidance on what accommodations to request based on your child's specific learning profile.

Parents of undiagnosed struggling students

Choose "not formally diagnosed but struggling" and describe what you see. The prompt suggests strategies based on the described challenges and helps you determine whether pursuing a formal evaluation would be beneficial.

Parents building executive function skills

Select "organization and planning" for [SPECIFIC_SITUATION]. The prompt generates systems for homework tracking, backpack organization, long-term project planning, and morning routines designed for the executive function gaps common in ADHD.
