[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think her executive functioning is poor, as is not unusual with ADHD and ASD. Read That Crumpled Paper Was Due Last Week and implement more support as in the book. [/quote] Thanks. Her executive functioning is poor. Her study skills class at school is providing the type of supports that have been described (planner, follow-up, chunked assignments, extensions). We've also provided the supports you've described at home. She's not using the supports that are being provided to her. That's why this is a motivation issue. [/quote] If you read the book, there's a lot of content about kids who seem to be unmotivated for various reasons and why. And how to pitch it to them as they'll actually have more free time this way. I would think the supports are not right for her and need to be re-evaluated. [/quote] Wow. Sounds like the ADHD Bible.[/quote]
