The first thing you must do is ensure you are also developing their moral compass. This would include having them do their own work instead of visiting YA to try and get someone else to do it for them.

This is some information that should help you however; I encourage you to take the time to look up this information for yourself and to confirm with your own reasoning whether this is fitting for your needs. It seems that you are asking the Yahoo community to 'do your work for you' in that you are asking for 'perfection' and "no grammatical errors". I sure would want to read first and ensure that whatever the information is provided to me is what I need for my 'workplace'.
Auditory and Visual Memory Activities:
1. Make sure you have eye contact with your child and his attention is totally on you while doing all tasks. Start out in a non-distracting one-on-one time with him.
2. Begin all instructions with "LISTEN....say ________.
Have your child repeat what you asked him to. If he was incorrect, try the memory task with one less item and have him repeat it. Build up to greater complexity as he reaches 90% success rates at each task. Sentence repetition tasks work well too. Begin a story sentence, then let your child add a word, then you add a word.. etc. Then have the child say the entire sentence of 4-5 words.
3. Teach your child to "chunk" together pieces of information in groups of 3 to begin with:
a.) Misc. number memory ---1 8 7 5 4 6 becomes
1 8 7
5 4 6 (this way he can remember 6 items
in two groups of 3)
b.) Word imitation: ball, flower, wallet, pickle
chair, paper becomes:
ball , flower, wallet
pickle, chair, paper.
c.) Sentence imitation: My mom likes lettuce and tomatoes in her salad. becomes....
My mom likes
lettuce and tomatoes
in her salad.
4. As your child groups in 3's successfully, add more units to the "chunks" ie. 4 items in a chunk.
5. When producing word series in a categorization task, ie, Name FOODS, teach him to group according to sub-categories (first fruits, then vegetables, meats etc.)
6. Have your child follow 3, and then 4 and then 5 step commands correctly.
7. Encourage your child to use the verbal rehearsal strategy. Right after you have given him an instruction, have him repeat the instruction aloud and then follow the instructions you gave. Eventually have him rehearse the instructions silently.
8. Writing Road to Reading will be good for developing auditory memory and listening skills, plus it will help the child to read effectively. Although an auditory learning environment will be most difficult for a child with these problems, direct training into this area of weakness would be best to develop this skill rather than merely relying on the visual to compensate for the auditory problems.
9. Scripture memory can be used to increase auditory memory as well at he sentence level. (first 4 word scriptures---or in chunks at a time---then more.)
10. Review the days activities with your child before bed. encourage appropriate sequencing of the days events. Record together in a journal. You may also review individual steps of each activity.
Activities for visual memory:
An image is observed for 15 seconds, after which a series of questions is posed. Answers can be compared to instructor's answers or assessed by further viewing of the original image. The Flash software shows the full image for 15 seconds, the answers (with appropriate image croppings), and then presents the image again, with information on its authorship and content.
The activity is repeated with a different image.
Assessment
How many of the questions for each image were answered correctly?
What types of questions were correct and what types were not?
Were problems due to lack of memory of detail or i

Memory games are great for the visual. For example, cards with animal pics...turn 12 cards face down and have them turn over 2 at a time and they have to match or be turned back over until they recall where the match is

In the past when my daughter was young we used to make up songs to help her memorize different things. Like the State Capitals,names of the oceans etc.
