[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the more I’m writing this all out I think the better way to frame this issue would be that DC appears not to be understanding assignments in this class for some reason and perhaps we can ask the teacher to be clearer about their expectations and not make it about grades at all.

Bingo OP.  Was coming in to say this but you figured it out.  It's time to drop your focus on grades.  I think your conversations with DC about this teacher have been inappropriate and unhelpful.  Re-read 07:57's last sentence to you.  Next, ask yourself what skills would help your DC navigate this teacher's assignments.  Focus?  Verbal expression?  Self-advocacy?  Metacognition?  Perspective-taking?  Flexibility?  Emotional resilience?  Make sure you are supporting your DC's development of these skills at home.

Classroom ADHD 504 accommodations can include student repeating instructions back to the teacher so the teacher can check for student understanding and also, student verbal rehearsal of ideas before writing, to help the student develop their thoughts more thoroughly.  Warning though.  If you expect teachers to do this for your DC for every one-sentence task, it's time to pull out and homeschool.[/quote]
