[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:
-Yes, they have taken away books from his desk.  He will just go to the class library and take a new one. Or sit in there and read.  This is a cotaught class and he isn't the only student with an IEP in this room.  He just gets up and walks away from the table and the teacher isn't his 1:1, she and the coteacher are working with multiple students so they can't be following him around 24/7.

- Yes, they have tried scribing. They are having him find 3 facts (after reading the article as a class and with read aloud access even though he doesn't need that).  Once he finds 3 facts from the one page article, then the teacher goes through each fact and asks him to tell her what it means and helps him make a sentence. They will then type the sentence for him if he wants or write it so he cantype it.  He STILL refuses to do this.  He just doesn't want any part of it.  All the strategies you mention they are trying/have tried.  I'm not sure how much easier they can make it and he is doing all these steps sitting at a teacher table with basically 1:1 teacher support.  [/quote]

He has smart enough to have figured out that there really  is nothing they can do to him at school. They aren’t going to rip the book out of his hands, or physically stop him from getting up to get a book and go under his desk as he isn’t hurting anyone, and there isn’t a reward big enough at school to convince him to write. Everyone knows the function of the behavior, they are breaking down the task and probably gave rewards that just aren’t as motivating as reading since schools have limited rewards they can offer. 
In that case I would be punishing him at home and taking away electronics, screen time, whatever he enjoys if you everytime you get a report from school that he got up and got a book instead of having someone scribe for him. And rewarding him with screen time when he does do the written work.  The problem is that today it is writing, tomorrow maybe he stops doing something else. [/quote]
