[quote=Anonymous]OP here. He has an IEP. He has typing accommodation as well as speech to text. The teacher will also help him formulate the sentence and wrote it for him to type or even type it for him. He won’t even do that.
He does not have reading or comprehension issues. He is a very proficient reader and understands what he reads. He is extremely inflexible and not open to the idea of writing. He just decided he hates to do it and that’s that. He’s very logical about it in his mind!

By the 11th hour I mean that they work on these long term writing projects in class where they so far they have taken notes about topic A, then turn the notes into a paragraph, then move to topic b, repeat, etc and then after a few weeks they have a research report they’ve done. It will be about half way through and my son will still be on the first paragraph.

The teachers are good and they will reduce the amount of work as minimal as possible for him to still complete. For example, the class might take notes from a specific article the first day and then the second day they have a variety of second sources to choose from for more notes. Then they work to organize the notes they’ve taken into a paragraph. By the time my son does anything he is so behind that they just have him do the notes from the first article and make the paragraph from that and move on.

We are all frustrated. I do not get daily reports and not sure if it would make the situation better if I followed up every day and had him complete the work at home if he doesn’t use the time in school. I don’t want him to hate school altogether but he has to do the work! He is extremely intelligent and this is behavioral and definitely not dysgraphia. He’s had multiple neuropsychological assessments and has autism and adhd. He is medicated.
