[quote=Anonymous]1. You start by asking your child why they are not turning in any written work. You come up with a plan together to check the online grade book or learning management system for assignments. You watch then complete written homework and pack it somewhere they won’t forget it, or help them submit it online.
2. You talk with the teacher to brainstorm some different strategies to help them. Maybe the teacher can give check-ins, prompts for attention, and reminders to turn in work. They can send unfinished work home and let you know it needs to be completed. Allowing oral responses may be an option, but it sounds like your kid can write and just isn’t, so I could see the teacher wanting to try other strategies first.
3. After you’ve tried the strategies, you request a 504 again, either because the strategies are working and you want to formalize them for next year, or because they are not working and you need a different solution.
4. If they deny you, you request a Child Study, which begins the IEP process. You probably won’t qualify for an IEP, but the school can’t ignore you. They are required by law to follow through on Child Study requests.
5. If still no progress, you elevate through the school system, hire an advocate, or look for a different school.[/quote]
