[quote=Anonymous]Does she have Resource?  That might be helpful with the EF issues. Another thought is her case manager. Does she know who that is and is she using that resource.

You mention meeting with the teachers. Not sure what your goal will be for that. They can’t reduce the course content for her. And they will tell you that she needs to use the resources that are provided in her IEP like the audiobooks. But if there is something specific you think isn’t happening that should and is the teachers’ responsibility, I’d talk to the case manager before I’d go to individual teachers. The CM is your go between.

Also if you haven’t developed a relationship yet, I’d try to set up a weekly contact - probably by email because that’s likely to be most successful.

It’s hard when your kid struggles so much. I have a kid whose grades in everything but PE and vo tech were Ds. But that’s all it takes to graduate and even that was serious struggle and effort for the entire four years, plus summer classes for grade recovery for the first three years, which feels like forever. One other suggestion is to make sure she finds other things that make life satisfying and happy because if your entire life is about school where all you do it struggle, it’s hard to get up in the morning.
