@A MyAutismTeam Member. What you have given me as advice was very helpful. They have a school agenda that he doesn't use at all. Maybe we can go back to that. or like you said a folder designed just for Tyric for completed assignments and assignments that need to be completed. Color coded stands out more for him. Oh while we are on the subject the teacher said that he wants to see his work not my work. I had to help him with creating his project because we were behind and he had told him the day before to have it in by the next day. It takes him some time when he have to do it the way that it is stated on the paper. He said that he wish Tyric would have done most of the work and not me. He wish he would have done comics since he likes that instead of the way that we had done it. Now I see why on last semester he didn't turn in his rock cycle because he was afraid that his teacher wouldn't accept it. Tyric has also slacked off of his chores and such. It is no longer routine. He did good for a while then nothing. I guess once the money stop coming to him he had given up. I notice if I challenge him with money he does well. May feel pressured but he will do what he can to meet the requirements. So I guess that me and Mr. Batten need to talk again.

I went w priv after battle w district. Just don't have time to waste and had for over a yr!! What's his disability under his IEP? U could def still look for outside services! What ins do u have? When doing his homework is it hard getting him to do it or both, or just trouble w assignments? The school dist is on a timeline once things are asked for in IEP meeting. Don't let them slide!! Stay on top of them. Esp if recommended in PPT meeting. Make sure everything discussed is in that IEP. And that he's getting the services in there. If u disagree w an eval they did u can ask for an independent one done at there expense and by your choice. They (not all!) but a lot like to make them come out a certain way to back them and it's hard cause people or teachers, serv priv ultimately work for the school and want to keep them happy by not giving to many services. So, battle is getting good Evals to help find his areas that need help in, implementing a plan w accommodations and modifications and services like speech, OT etc and then making sure they r all actually doing what supposed to. On top of it working and making changes as your son changes! Some r not as bad as others but most don't seem capable of really giving the kids the Indiv help they need to succeed. I d luv to c your IEP!! :-) wonder how to give out priv email if u wanted it. I know there's a way just can't remember how! What state r u, 2? Got to get them going esp since in middle school. Next PPT meeting tell them ahead that u will b recording it. Will help hold them accountable. Do u get actual data on his goals etc? Done by base line etc? Pre/post? If u r having trouble getting him to do homework by that timeline ask his opinion. Maybe right when he gets home or later? Listen I know it's hard and hard to make them do things but c if use a reward for something he really likes. Comics? If he does his homework two days in a row he gets a new one? Something like that maybe? Them can make reward longer when he sees it's working? Plus having assignments he likes more will help as teach seems willing. It's not easy!! Keep me posted

How old is he? I forgot from the original post! If he's old enough I would involve him in the ideas of the folder w the daily, extended homework. Give him some choices and ask his input so he feels a part of it. I d also ask him what he feels would help him accomplish his work on time? What you and the school could do to help him? And then try to incorporate his ideas or thoughts into whatever u all come up w. Unfortunately, when it comes w schools it's so much more than fig out the problem and just coming up w a solution or plan. Then u have to make sure they are actually implementing it correctly too! In his IEP these things should b stated: like extended time etc. If u feel they r not helping I d def have a meeting cause u need to come up w a plan, make sure every1 will follow it etc. It also seems as other stuff is going on. Is it with just one teacher or others? U all need to sit down and fig out what the goal is w him. Is it to have him complete the assignment, on time, exactly as it's written? Or can he do the assignment all his own if it's on something a little different? When u get an assignment I d talk w your son about it right away and explain it to him. If he has or wants to do on diff topic why not email the teacher to c? If the goal is to just get him to first start bringing assignments him and completing them on time than that's one thing. If it's just getting him to do the whole assignment himself, with him being engaged, that's another (c why he would like comics then) but how r u to know that? To start u need to have better communication w the teacher and set up goals for him and a plan to help him achieve them. Focus on just a few at first; the most important! Hopefully the teacher and school are helpful and open. I always try that route first. A cple times actually before having to get to point of having enough. I had to advocate and get my son out placement. Some schools r good; some not. Can even change yr to yr depending on the teacher. Does he give u issues actually doing the homework at home?

I would ask that at the end of each day he has a folder and in it all his assignments for that night are in it. The teacher or someone needs to check it everyday before he goes home and make sure it's in his bag, maybe. There should b a place to have him initial it and the teacher. Maybe a section to write what the assignments are and when they are due. Then should b a spot for u to initial that u got it. It should checked by you every night with your son and the next morning to make sure it's completed. Maybe a spot to write what was completed? Or still working on if he needs extended time? He would need to bring folder in in morn to school to that teach to give assignments to also.. or something like that. Idea is to help teach him the skills to be accountable but he needs extra help right now! Goal should be to get him to bring assignments home and complete them. Makes him feel good too. Seems like they are just setting him up for failure. I could totally off base with my accommodation but get it's a start!
