[QUOTE="Star*, post: 150195, member: 4964"] Hi there, HUGE BASKET of support being sent. And some advice - Call the school psychiatrist. Ask for an emergency revision of his IEP. On the IEP make it class specific that there is little or NO homework and how to work around that. Dude would rage for hours non-stop over homework. For one ENTIRE year - every night, no matter what - we sat at that table and I was patient - had "FUN" pencils and colored paper, markers, stickers, calculator and all the happycrappy that goes with it. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING worked. He would rage from 4:10 until 11:00 at night - and I mean fits to beat all. Finally I went to the school and told them - I can't keep doing this - the homework is causing so much stress. They actually wrote it out of his schedule and eliminated homework - he did it in school with a shadow and what he did not do? They worked on the next morning. The School Dist. ALSO paid for a shadow. And you can get them to pay for an after school tutor. AT SCHOOL to work with him ONe on ONE. Worth a try if anxiety from homework is reduced - Sure didn't stop Dude from raging but it stopped me from avoiding stabs with broken pencils. - Is he in self contained classes? That may help also. and if the book didn't help - find another - and another and another until you find one that works for YOU and him. [/QUOTE]
