[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not focus on getting your child to remember to turn HW in? Ask every single day after school - did you turn your hw in?
Remind them every single morning before school to turn hw in. Send them a text message during school with a single word - HW. Tell them to turn it in during lunch if they forgot earlier. Or detour to the class where they forgot and drop it off while they are on their way to another class. This will be more helpful in the long run then trying to throw it all on the teachers who are already slammed [/quote]

If you knew EF issues, you would know that all your ideas are disasters.  Texting the kid and making them look at the phone will cause them to be stuck in it for ten minutes and not really know why.  The detour your describe might (might!) get the HW to one class but could just as easily lead to being late for another class, wandering to the library, or otherwise straying where the kid should not be and get in trouble.

My family had to deal with so many special education teachers in Loudoun who did not know their field. I shouldn't have to explain to the case manager what executive functioning issues, adhd or dysgraphia are. We got talked in to using a teacher as a tutor for compensatory time owed us. She had kid's iep which explained everything then after the first session was aghast at how kid struggled. She'd even been in the iep meetings where everything was discussed. There is a woman running for office who supposedly has a ton of special education experience but at a candidates forum stated that adhd and autism are caused by screen time and she shut things down when people tried to correct her.

This poster is one of them. [/quote]
