[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son (graduating this year) had and IEP all throughout his school career and group projects were always a burden, and he was always the slowest and the one who contributed least. We couldn't do very much about it.

But here's the perspective of my neurotypical and take-charge 7th grade daughter: she does NOT mind having such a lab partner, because then it means she has more control over the finished project and she knows she can usually do a better job than most students (I know, cocky). She says: "Oh good, I was paired with Charles, who is just like (brother), and so I asked him if he could do this small thing, and I'd do the rest." Bossy, but it's a win-win.[/quote]
It is not a win win - as Charles may actually WANT to do the Lab.[/quote]
Also, even if Charles doesn’t actually want to do the lab, he needs to do his share so he can learn what he’s supposed to know. PP, do not encourage your kid to take over!

OP, can you talk to the chemistry teacher about getting the instructions early to “study” them; maybe get it into the IEP? I recommend talking to the teacher to try to figure out how to help your kid participate.[/quote]

That’s exactly what I did. Thank you![/quote]
