[quote=Anonymous][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]

With all due respect, your kids did not have to deal with the clusterf*ck that is computer based learning in 2026.

OP I think you need to get an IEP and the IEP needs to include home-school communication provisions that allow you to better monitor the in-class assignments on a daily basis and provide him with more *daily* checkins from the teachers to make sure he knows what he needs to do and has any issues with the app resolved. Getting the C in math shows he is not accessing the curriculum. [/quote]

Thanks for these suggestions. This is very helpful. I don't think that's ever come up and it's a key pare of the discussion-- is he even accessing the curriculum and if so, doing so correctly? We had an issue once where he confused two different assignments on two different apps and he received a zero because he was using the wrong app. The teacher said she'd give him another opportunity to correct the error and complete the work. She never did, he still has the zero. [/quote]
