[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 254175, member: 1991"] It sounds to me that he would benefit from an aide who could help him with his personal organisation skills. difficult child 1 had that in his final years of high school. I wish we'd been able to get it for him sooner. There are also some practical techniques such an aide could help him set up, but it would also require teacher cooperation. Very frustrating when the teachers don't bother showing up - again, we had that happen with difficult child 1. It aosl unfortunately followed through with their lack of support of the aide, so a lot of time got wasted b ythe aide in having to follow up with teachers and personally track them down to get from them the info she required. Which made me realise - if difficult child 1's organisation skills were already badly flawed, then what sort of example were his teachers setting? And if his teachers couldn't get their act together, what right did they have to penalise difficult child 1? I think your first step could be to try to arrange for some sort of suppot with personal organisation skills, see where that takes you. Any subsequent problems will be unique to your situation.
