You should first understand that short attention spans may be due to age or disability, and not just misbehaving. You should start by asking the parents if they have any suggestions. They know their child the best. You should also be prepared by having ideas for a variety of activities to do to keep the child busy. Some kids will go back and forth between activities so you may not need more than 3 or 4 activities planned at a time.
