[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 78485, member: 439"] If I had the answer to this - I'd be rich. NL got his progress report last Friday. All As and Bs, but the best part was NO MISSED HOMEWORK! This is the first time in his entire school career that he didn't have at least one "0" for a missed assignment. Homework just has too many steps for him - hear it assigned, bring it home, do it, put it back in his bookbag, hand it back in. Somewhere along that line if falls apart. We've tried EVERYTHING - planners, voice recorder (he lost it), emailing me his homework assignments (he'd forget to bring the stuff home), what have you. So, needless to say, I was SO happy. Tuesday I get a call from his English teacher - he missed handing in an assignment. I sat NEXT to him as he did it, so I knew he had. He just didn't hand it in.....sigh....... I do know we cannot give him multiple item requests - he has to just do one thing, then get the next. If you tell him to do numerous things, he'll get so bogged down in thinking about doing them all that he gets nothing accomplished. We also must break down all long term assignments the same way - have him do one thing a day on them. He is good with "routine" - if he does something often enough to reinforce it, he can do multiple step tasks over and over. I really have no suggestions for you - I just keep trying things. They work for a while, then they stop. [/QUOTE]
