One of the biggest challenges for middle-schoolers is adjusting to a new learning environment. The school itself may be larger. There’s also a shift in how classes are held.
In elementary school, your child may have had one or two teachers for his core subjects. In middle school, though, the number of teachers he has may double. It’s not uncommon for kids to have different teachers for science, math, English and other subjects. They may also have other teachers for special classes (like art, physical education and music).
Each teacher may have slightly different classroom expectations. This can be hard to get used to for kids who have trouble following social cues. Teaching your child ways to recognize social rules and to self-advocate can be helpful.
Your child may also have to switch classrooms between classes. Navigating a new school can be tough, especially for middle-schoolers with visual processing issues. Consider taking a tour of the school ahead of time. Then you can map out his schedule with the most direct routes from class to class for his reference.
Your child will also have to keep track of time and perhaps even get materials from his locker before the next class. For kids with executive functioning issues, these increasing demands on organization and time management skills can be overwhelming.
You can help by asking your child to create a locker organization system. If possible, adding items like shelves and section dividers can solve some of the organization problems. You can also plan out locker stops and indicate them on his schedule.

New Academic Expectations
Not only do middle-schoolers have more teachers, they’re also expected to be more independent learners than in grade school. Your child may be assigned more homework and long-term projects. He’ll need to know how to gather information from reputable sources and present it in his own words. And since he’ll have multiple teachers, the amount of homework and projects may not be evenly spread out.
Kids are also expected to take notes in class. If your child has ADHD or visual processing issues, or if he struggles with processing speed or working memory, that can pose a challenge. He may benefit from using very specific note-taking strategies or note-taking apps.
If your child struggles with written expression or has dyslexia, writing essays and keeping up with reading assignments can be a challenge, too. Tools like graphic organizers and audiobooks can help.
These increased academic requirements require critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. That can be particularly difficult for kids with executive functioning issues. They may need support in learning how to break big projects into smaller chunks. Board gamesand video games can be fun ways to build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, too.
New Social Expectations
Middle school is a time of major social growth. Going from being the oldest students in elementary school to the youngest in middle school can be scary. Your child is expected to be more independent than he was in grade school. At the same time, he may deal with cliques or bullies, or worry about being lonely.
But being in a larger school with new kids also gives your child an opportunity to make new friends. You can help by role-playing common social situations and teaching him ways to connect to other kids.
Remind your child that middle school gives him a chance to explore interests and passions. Middle school clubs and extracurricular activities are good places to find kids who have similar interests.
Keep in mind that if your child already has trouble picking up on social cues, middle school socializing may be hard for him. This may be a good time to start discussing social boundaries and secrets with your child. (You may also want to take a look at tips for reducing risky behavior.)
