[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 305074, member: 805"] Sounds like a decent meeting and it also sounds like his teachers are pretty understanding and up on lds. In relation to his homework - do they provide him with a written homework assignment or is he responsible for writing down the assignment or remembering it once he gets home? My difficult child is getting much better, but the majority of his teachers sign his agenda once he writes the homework assignment in there. Does he have an established homework time and space? One thing that has really been successful for us is a set homework time - 5:00. That way he gets to come home, chill, watch some tv, etc., before sitting down again (especially since he's just spent 6.5 hours sitting at school). He's on a block schedule, and I find it really helpful for him to do the assigned homework for from that day on that day. That way the information is still fresh. He also has a quiet homework space. There are some days when I sit in there with him and read a book, a magazine, go through paperwork, etc., just to make sure he's on task (plus it's kinda a rest for me). That way, if he needs some help, I'm right there as well. We established this system when he was in third grade and it really works. He knows ahead of time what the deal is. As much as he might want to balk or not be interested in homework, he's always responded well to structure (as in knowing what is coming next, etc.) and this is just another way for him to anticipate an expectation.
