[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 10th grader doing all AP classes does not have hours of homework.

My other kid, now in college, took the entire afternoon and evening to do his homework, in elementary, middle and high school. He had a processing speed measured at the 4th percentile, with inattentive ADHD and autism.

If your kids are taking hours to do homework, OP, and they're not doing 6 AP courses at the same time... you need to worry about processing speed and possible ADHD, because the two are often closely linked. They might need a diagnosis to get a 504 and extended time.

I suspect my 8th grader has slow processing speed. If I get a 504, when do they do the homework even with extended time, if they have hrs every night of homework?

What other strategies helped?[/quote]

You can try to get an 504 for half homework, or convince your kid to skip some of the homework because it's only 10% of their grade and the most intensive repetitive drudgery work is graded for "effort" with a 2-second glance at the notebook.

Study hall like PP said, and choosing the slowe track classes among the options.
