[quote=Anonymous]I agree with a lot of this advice above, although not the poster who said you can’t find an executive function coach. You definitely can. But if you want to do it yourself – – I think one thing kids fear is that if you’re intervening this much now, it means you’ll be hands-on for the entire year.

So You could break it down for him – – like, for the first three weeks, you look at the assignment together, he complets it with you next to him, he checks it and then you check it. For the three weeks after that, you look at the assignment together, but he doesn’t need to be with you when he does it he just needs to show it when he’s done. Etc. etc. You can tell him that The gradual release is contingent on him being able to manage some of it on his own.

And  It doesn’t have to be punitive. Kids want to do well. If they have learning disabilities and neurodivergent, they’re used to not doing well and feeling crummy. So if you could be the person by their side that praises them, it helps them navigate the hard stuff that can be a good thing – – even if it’s hard for them sometimes to see that.

Also, it’s just October. Don’t despair about high school just yet. There’s a long road ahead for improvement this year.[/quote]
