[QUOTE="Martie, post: 5411, member: 284"] Kathy, I'm glad things are going so well in your class. To answer your question: it entirely depends upon the student's needs. IF he is a special education student who has some sort of mild learning problem, then it is reasonable (to say nothing of realistic) to expect him to get the notes home after they have been given to him. On the other hand, if he has massive executive functioning problems or memory problems, then it may not be reasonable. I have a question for someone to ask the mother: Are the math notes the only thing that are not making it home? If that is the case, and other things make it home, then the problem is motivational rather than EF or general inability to remember what he needs to take home. I would ask the study skills teacher to MAKE SURE he has the math notes in his backpack for several days, meaning he left school with them, and then have the study skills teacher find out from the mother if the notes made it home. Perhaps he does not want his math notes at home because of what his mother is going to do--or make him do--with them. I have seen versions of this problem with my own son who does not have EF deficits in the general sense. However, he used to do a pretty good imitation when he was angry or unmotivated. My "best" (and favorite) example from grade school: he never lost a piece of music (hasn't to this day) but in one semester, he "lost" 5 pairs of gym shoes. The gym shoes were kept in cubbies in the gym and were never supposed to leave. Losing them must have taken a lot of thought and effort [img]:wink:[/img] Martie [/QUOTE]
