I have a student that asks a question about very minor detail in all aspects of the day. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would apply several accommodations for the students. Provide written AND verbal directions. When they have the written directions, instead of explaining it over and over again, remind them that the written instructions are both on the board/at the table. Put them in groups with their peers, and remind them that they can also ask their peers for help rather than always asking the teacher. This benefits the student and their peers for giving them a sense of responsibility. Best of both worlds.
