[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 598797, member: 11791"] I'd be starting with two things... one for the summer, and one for the fall... 1) Structure at home. Sit back and look at what structure you do have, and formalize it (meal times, bed times, other routines that are daily or weekly). Then think about what kinds of structure you can add to that for the summer. For example, after lunch every day is "outside" time... Technology time is bla bla, a couple of small (to start) chores tossed in there (clear the table after breakfast? or sweep the floor?)... start building, and see what happens. 2) If homework is taking all evening... I'd be wanting changes to his IEP. The kid NEEDS a life - just like every other kid. Allow for half an hour per week, per grade. So, grade 6 could expect 3 hours of homework per WEEK, or not much more than half-an-hour per day. Personally, I don't count "reading" as homework... another half hour of reading shouldn't be a problem. The rest needs to be done at school. If they have to adjust their expectations, or provide him with resource help to do it at school, so be it. [/QUOTE]
