[quote=Anonymous]We're in ACPS and I've found if I am in direct and daily contact with my kid's teacher, I can help him stay on top of work and TOGETHER (teachers, me and him) can help him succeed. We have a 504 plan but really don't rely on it as my kid's teachers have been willing to support him as needed in the classroom.  
As cliché as it sounds, the more he succeeds, the more he wants to succeed, so we've had some small victories this year by using positive reinforcement (ie when he turns in his homework daily for X number days in a row and gets overly praised for remembering, he then ingrains it as a habit (sort of)).  I've had to rely on my kid's teachers going above and beyond to help me help him stay on track and for that I am forever grateful (and I let them know how grateful I am). To the OP, I'd recommend going to the teachers and getting their buy in to help your kid.  For us anyway, teacher support has been essential. I am terrified how next year will play out when my kid is in middle school.  I fear teachers are going to be much more hands off.
I hate that some systems are letting kids fail before acting. We had a few rough years in early elementary school before we figured out what was going on, and the toll it took on my son's self confidence and general attitude toward school was deep and lasting.  [/quote]
