[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very teacher dependent - some are proactive in giving accommodations, but those are usually the ones who already have their lessons / classroom designed to be more accessible anyway. And yes - kids are supposed to begin to do more self-advocating, but I still found it necessary to scaffold my ADHD/ASD kid to promote positive conversations/emails with teachers who were not providing the accommodations. Honestly, middle school is tough - because there are so many more teachers, teaching styles, and variety of way assignments are giving and expected to be turned in. So much more to keep track of![/quote]

Thank you PP, I feel like this thread is like some MCPS teachers, blaming the victim.  Having an IEP or 504 is a long process and is done for a reason.[/quote]

No one is blaming they are providing realistic advice on how to help OPs child.  In a utopia class would be smaller or teachers would have aides.   Students would take a study hall their 6th grade year to help them learn to organize and how to study (this can be elected in HS btw). But in the absence of that reality everywhere it’s helpful to begin teaching kids early how to self advocate and how to use a planner.[/quote]
