[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two kids have HFA, and one of them had an IEP for severe ADHD, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and low processing speed on top of his autism. He was medicated for his ADHD all throughout middle and high school, otherwise his focus was non-existent. He also had 50%, then 100% extra time. He still has extended time in college.

None had trouble with instruction or tests conducted with screens, however.

I think your kid's current problems stem from inattention, or other issues not directly to do with a socio-emotional communication disorder.

Maybe a more complete evaluation is in order.[/quote]

Thanks, this helps. The 504 invites him to ask for extended time, but he's not asking for it when he should. DH and I have sat down with him and asked DS to walk us through exactly why assignment X is a zero, what went wrong there, and it'll come down to, "I ran out of time" or "I was working on something else that I thought was due at the same time" or he was confused and looked at the wrong app. Or he DID hand it in but the teacher hasn't graded it (and months later, still hasn't graded it). I reached out to the principal once, too, and she just backs her teacher. I wouldn't even know what to evaluate him for at this point. [/quote]
