[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 667715, member: 11791"] Well, given that the staying awake thing affects the afternoon, can he keep his accelerated classes for the mornings at least? And maybe take fun electives in the afternoon - art, or music, or phys ed, or shop or commercial cooking or... anything that would be interesting. Schools ARE able to hand-pick the schedule for a student, as an accommodation - they did it for us, in a very large school where "everyone's" schedule was generated by computer. They just pulled the schedules for a couple dozen "hand-coded" kids, and made adjustments as necessary including affecting other students, before the schedules went out. They also allowed him into an already-full class when we had to make adjustments after the school year started. On the homework thing - no, you won't get accommodations in an accelerated class. But this is a missing skill. Can he use one afternoon period to work with a resource teacher, to learn how to manage the workload, prioritize, etc., and end up with an hour of homework already done at school? [/QUOTE]
