[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] It sounds like she needs support to use the planner. She needs someone to sit with her and walk her through how to use it. If the school isn't doing that, they're not providing what she needs. It's partly motivational but she probably also is just really bad at the skill of using it.[/quote]
