[QUOTE="Star*, post: 270500, member: 4964"] We also opted for a second set of books for home - We got the teacher to post her assignments in advance in an email to all parents for the week - THen we left Dude decided if he could remember to play, to call friends to do whatever else - he could remember his stuff for homework. Then we let him suffer the in school suspensions and missed parties from NOT doing homework or remembering his work. We also had it written into his IEP that his shadow was to help him remember but not do it for him. Otherwise the psychiatrist at the district felt he would never do it on his own. (quite frustrating) You miss enough pizza parties as a kid and you can remember your assignments. Dude is 18 and STILL forgets things (swears on a stack of encyclopedias) he's just ADHD (nice try at an excuse) but can remember things that matter to him. (ugh) I don't know if there really IS anything you can do to help him - but for now doing it yourself is causing less stress on you - and that could be the key. (lord lawd......it was for us) but it's a temporary fix. sigh...... [/QUOTE]
