Question
tell me about the right method to teach astudant who his thinking is limited?

Answer
Anwar,  

I am not sure what you mean by "thinking is limited". I can only assume that this person has some kind of cognitive handicap or delay.  Be sure that you give him extra time in explaining the subject matter as well as what you are asking him to.  Give him as much one to one attention as possible.  Sometimes it is a good idea to cut down the task so that it is easier for him to complete the work that is required (assignments that are 1/2 of what the other students get).  Perhaps you can also partner him with another student who can help him when you are working with other students.  Most importantly, give him praise and encouragement for every thing he does that is satisfactory.  Avoid the negative if at possible.  

Best of luck in this pursuit.....

Patricia
