[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do wonder about that. The homework gets a lot harder to track in middle school. My ADHD kid is capable of doing the homework but has difficulty with all the administrative aspects of it like bringing the worksheet home and turning it in at the next class period. It gets lost in the bag, left in the locker, or just lost and have no idea where it is. In middle school, homework counts towards the grade. I am going to ask at the next 504 meeting. [/quote] How about asking for the 504 to help her with those executive functioning skills (teacher writes the assignment in a daily organizer and then double checks your child's HW folder at beginning of class, for instance). Asking to be opted out rather than given accommodations to help her succeed feels like setting her up for failure in HS and beyond. [/quote]
