[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 406142, member: 3444"] Today I wrote another rough outline for him to follow for the essay. That seemed to really help give him direction. Then I sat in the room and fired questions about the topic and as he answered I told him to write down what he was saying. He's got about 1/3 of the essay done now. Then I had to take him to school for his French class, which gets out in about 30 minutes. I'll go pick him up and bring him back home so we can spend from 11:15am to 12:45pm finishing the essay. He meets with his history teacher at 1pm to turn in all the work for the past week and take this week's test. Then it starts all over again until next Wednesday. I think he should be able to wrap up the rest of this o.k. But hopefully we can structure things better for next week. He's already started the reading for next week (apparently he wasn't paying attention to which chapters he had to read for this week and got ahead of schedule), so that's really good. But he needs to write down a schedule for each day and plan out the work he will do. And I'm going to have to take a very active role in this process. Fortunately, husband is working from home today and he took the other two kids to school so I could focus on difficult child 1. :) I need to let the school psychiatric know about my observations so that she can keep this tendency of his in mind as she evaluates him for an IEP.
