Provide differentiated learning and teaching strategies for the student of concern.
Some possible ways to differentiate:

working alongside them with a whiteboard
-providing visuals for the lesson
-pre-record a lesson for viewing on a tablet
-partnering with another student who will compliment the area of weakness
-highlight certain parts of the assignment
-provide pictures in sequence to reach the desired task
-build in an extra break-time
