[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What  planner book do your kids use to write down all assignments due date, tests, quizzes or etc for all subjects ? How about the brand of zipped big binders? [/quote]

One of the things that was most helpful for my son was to choose his own. About 4-6 weeks after school started he was able to discuss what his organizational shortfalls were. He spent literally hours in Staples choosing his system. And it was worth every second since he owned it and it worked. It was the start of him taking responsibility for managing his disability.

Not all MSs give homework. So don’t borrow trouble until you know what yours requires.

If they do, you can get teachers to review the planner to ensure that everything is written down. That’s typically part of a 504.

Agree with PP. Avoid extra time if you can. It’s all due in the end anyway and once you start down the road of not meeting a deadline, you easily end up in a disaster at the end of a quarter.

Make sure you review whatever online resources the school uses. If there are big projects you may need to help your child or even ask for teacher help to chunk it out and have interim deadlines.

Honestly it was a time of real growth for my son. He learned to develop his own accommodations during this time. Managing his disability is still a process but it’s his process. [/quote]
