[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 117751, member: 1233"] IS there anything your son really really really wants? That he does not have, of course. Maybe make steps toward it conditional on effort? on the other hand, Has he been properly tested for ALL learning disabilities? When we let my difficult child type ALL school work we got MUCH better, more detailed work out of him. We still had to go through and prompt/edit/critique to get his best efforts, but dysgraphia made handwriting assignments torturous. For several years he had an Alphasmart (about $200, if I remember - Stella Johnson knows) to carry from class to class. It is a computer, super durable, that has NO games or distracting things. We had a problem in the printing off assignments area at first, until we made teachers give him time to go print off if they did not have the computers configured to print. If your difficult child can draw, but still won't write stuff, then don't discount this. Drawing artistically and writing out thoughts/assignments are very different. Hope this gives you some help.
