[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is diagnosed ASD, ADHD and GT (gifted and talented).
School decided to give 504 but not an iep.
DC is in high school with poor grades due to failure to remember homework. Parents have a difficult time navigating different online systems to track homework assignments and completion. When work is submitted,  grades are As. Asking for executive functioning support from school, school has made it clear they will not help.
What is the best next step to take? [/quote]
You are describing my child and my life.
My child is now in college.  Throughout high school I battled the school for what they were supposed to do and all it did was cause my to lose sleep.
Knowing what I know now .....

Remove the checking in with getting assignments in and outsource it to an executive functioning (homework tutor)
I wish I could go back and change the conversations from - did you hand in your homework - where are you on this assignment TO how are you doing? Do you want to watch that movie you were talking about [/quote]

You sound regretful.  You should be proud. You fought back against systemic bias and apathy and your child is in college. You did a great job and you can build a different relationship going forward now that your job is mostly done and done well.[/quote]
