[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 494739"] I agree with a couple of the other posts. My kids just had to write a type of research paper. They had to do a bibliography, which is very easy to do. They were supposed to do index cards while they read the sources but they took notes in a notebook instead. Before they wrote the paper, they read through JUST their notes and started writing. difficult child 1 actually got an A on it. He had 2 weeks to complete it. His IEP specifies that "alternate topics for Language Arts writing assignments can be decided upon" since the skill is the research and writing parts of it, not the actual content. His IEP also stipulated that he be given extra time to complete assignments. BUT, if that isn't spelled out in the IEP, I don't know that the accommodations would have been made. As for meeting after a long break for something that happened before break.... UH NO!!!! Our sd tried that and I simply said it was THEIR fault for not dealing with it before break and punishing difficult child 1 after so long was not going to teach him anything. I can totally understand your difficult child's ANXIETY over such a huge project. difficult child 1 has the same issue. He looks at the WHOLE thing and stresses. In your case, I would do as Justour2boys said but I would cc a copy to the SpEd Director AND the principal as well. Make sure those that count know what is going on. What kinds of accommodations are in difficult child's IEP when it comes to written assignments and assignments overall? Otherwise, YOU might have to break it down into smaller tasks and have her do them 1 at a time like I did with difficult child 1. If it takes longer, oh well, they had better not dock her grade for it being late. If they do, fight like h****. [/QUOTE]
