[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 253335, member: 1991"] With Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), it's important for the work set, to be modified so it DOESN'T require them to do something they're not capable of doing. having to choose form a range of topics can be a problem; having to analyse a text with abstract concepts ("what do you think that character felt when the incident happened?") is just too challenging and frankly, will the child ever need it? Something to consider also - is it maybe time to pull the rug on school and work on an alternative career path? This has recently been suggested to us, we're going to set up a meeting with our adult education colleges here. A person can "go back to school" at one of these places and the support is much better than school. There can be apprenticeships also, plus other directions a person can take. There are always choices. And I do find the TA's response interesting - you write, "I can't do this at home, I'm opting out of homework battles at home," and the TA responds with, "just do it, and get him to help." What part of "this isn't working" did she not understand? Marg [/QUOTE]
