[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have your son evaluated.  My son was doing OK academically in everything but writing (and impulsivity in class).  I'm so glad we did a private evaluation.  He has a 504 plan.  He takes standardized tests privately now and gets to type in his class- those are his main accomodations.  They have made a big difference for him.  The only way we got a 504 was because his teacher was very, very supportive.

My son has a very high verbal IQ.  To have a very smart kid who is 7 struggle to write a sentence is very hard for him and for us, his parents.  Most of his teachers and the special ed team thought that was fine.  [/quote]

This is OP. Thank you. I had never heard of a 504. I just checked it out and it looks like it might be helpful. In fifth grade, his best friend helped keep him "on task" by remembering home work, etc., but next year he is in different classes than his best friend and I'm not sure how he'll cope. He NEVER used the agenda, and the teacher did not follow-up to check, despite asking her to. And of course, with my own ADD, I let months go by before realizing he wasn't writing down the assignments.
