[quote=Anonymous]Would he be able to progress in sequential classes? I realize English 8 is probably English 8 (although a new school might offer different books snd he could at least write different papers), but would he have to repeat the same math/foreign language classes? Would you be actively working on his executive functioning? If he can progress (or at least find sone challenge in his classes) and develop better organization and time management skills, then it might make sense. If he’s going to be coasting for a year, just doing busy work, you might see a year where he has things under control, but I don’t think it will address the underlying problems in executive functioning. Since you seem to be on the fence, I’d leave the choice up to him, but either way you be focusing on executive functioning (and also recognize that the organizational strategies which work for you might not work for him).[/quote]
