[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 154454, member: 3444"] This is an on-going problem for my difficult child 2 as well. He used to have a 504 to address his ADHD issues, but now has an IEP because of his movement disorder and mood disorder, and within the IEP we specify that he is to get modified assignments with regard to how they are presented (broken down into smaller tasks so he doesn't get overwhelmed), and how much time he has to complete them (he is allowed extra time without penalty). If your son doesn't already have a 504 or IEP, you should insist on one. And as exasperating as the situation is, and I'm right there with you in tearing my hair out, the teacher, the administrative staff, and you need to be working together, thinking outside the box to figure out how best to teach him, rather than punishing him for not fitting in the traditional mold. The goal is to EDUCATE. If the current methods aren't working, they need to be fixed. [/QUOTE]
