[quote=Anonymous]Turning in work:  In ES, my son would go into the classroom fifteen minutes before anyone else was allowed in.  The teacher or the special educator would have already taped a checklist on his desk, which he would complete.  Then he would sit and read until school started.  Once he hit MS, he already had the routine down because it is pretty much the same as in ES.  But, he made his own checklists and put it in the front of his binder.  For the first few weeks of school, he would use it and then he didn't need it anymore.

Long projects:  We break them down into parts and put each activity onto a calendar.  He is now at the point where he can do this himself as well, but doesn't always like the decisions he makes.  For example, recently he didn't factor in his social activities when he made his project calendar.  He got the work done, but wasn't able to hang with his friends a few days after school when he would have liked to.  He could have avoided losing his friend time if he scheduled things in a different manner.  Lesson learned.  [/quote]
