Give Wait Time
Some children, particularly those with behavioral disorders (ADHD, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder), may take longer to process information than other children. Therefore, when you give a direction to a child that habitually does not respond, wait a few seconds before repeating the direction or scolding the child. I once worked with a child that took 9 seconds to process a direction and respond!
