[QUOTE="klmno, post: 194792, member: 3699"] Ok- no perfect answers here, but here's where we are with this- you may have already tried some or all. 1) Extended release or time release versions- no medications need to be taken at school, unless it's prn. Even with this, difficult child gets medications in am and pm- unless it's prn. 2) Get it in his IEP- one set of books at school and one set to be kept at home- no transporting books. It's common. 3) Our school uses a website, teachers put homework assignments on a link that student and parent has a password for. In the absence of that, teachers should be able to email you once a week what the weekly assignments are. We email as often as it takes- "difficult child didn't turn in homework today" I email back "I can verify he did it; I'll have him turn it in tomorrow". It's a struggle, but teachers have learned the problem really is memory, executive functioning, etc., not defiance or poor parenting. (That took over 2 years.) 4) Yep- F.O.R.E.V.E.R. Soooo, we put difficult child in learning stratgies ( astudy hall for kids on an iep). He is to do any assignments missed in there and do at least some of his assigned homework and projects in there. They can help him if he needs it. And, it's in his iep, in times of stress or absences, the learning strategies teachers deletes some homework and coordinates with teachers how difficult child can get it made up. The adults are still controlling this- it isn't up to difficult child- but if I verify that he has truly shut down at home, they pick up the slack. We're still working on all this- it is a work in progress, but these things have helped difficult child's grades and both of our stress levels at home. [/QUOTE]
