[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 268019, member: 1514"] Any chance of him getting a tutor or wraparound aid to be at home with him in the early afternoons? Seems to me that the distractability and inability to focus are classic ADD symptoms so that is kinda like...DUH! Whats in his IEP to help with that? Maybe he could have some sort of study hall at the end of each day to help with organization and get homework started. Or god forbid...homework done. My oldest cannot do homework at home...no joke! Even in college he had to stay at school to get it done. It was like there was this huge disconnect between the two places. Drove me to distraction. I took a quarter of classes with him and I am one of those students who bring home my books and do homework every night and study for hours to get top grades. Him? He never cracks a book. His backpack gets tossed on the floor and is never opened. It would almost make me wanna knock him upside the head. Uh...Billy...dont you have an english paper due? Yeah...I will work on it later. Ughhhhhh. Meanwhile he is playing some computer game and I am furiously working on my paper...lol. [/QUOTE]
