[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The current accommodations are mostly related to assessments which doesn’t help with the executive functioning challenges related to homework but but there is a little extra time to submit assignments[/quote]

Extra time for assignments -- alone -- is rarely helpful because it does nothing to address why she needs extra time.

Is it because she has trouble remembering to do the assignment? Then she needs support remembering to bring materials home/electronic versions of materials. Or help (from you or the school) collecting the list of assignments from the various portals.

Is it that she has a hard time getting started on assignments? Then she needs help (from the school, you, or a paid executive function coach) on chunking assignments or other strategies to initiate work.

Is it that she works really slowly? Consider if a reduced work accommodation or working only to show mastery is appropriate. Otherwise, she will always be behind.

Does she do the work but forget to hand it in? Consider accommodations directly for that, like reminders or (even better) submitting electronically as soon as she's completed the work. For work she does on paper, she can photograph and email it.[/quote]
