[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a special needs child, so I agree with posters who recommend you seek advice in the SN forum. But one thing I will say that I think applies here is as well is that you can’t care more about your child’s opportunities and future than he does. There has to be some element of natural consequences that you have to let play it out. It’s the only way teens learn, unfortunately.[/quote] I don’t think this is good advice for 9th grade boys. Many need handholding with accountability each day. Just make a short meeting where you discuss what is due during the next few days, create a checklist and go online together to check that everything has been turned in. Once you see that they are accomplishing the tasks before each meeting, switch to every other day and then once a week. - HS teacher[/quote]
