[quote=Anonymous]This sounds a lot like my dd, and we had this situation especially in 1st and 2nd grades. In addition to homework, teachers sent classwork that was not completed.  Also in 2nd grade, the teacher met with us within 2 weeks of school starting to discuss dd's inability to stay on task.  We worked with the school over the 2nd grade year and did get a 504 with accommodations to help dd - like sit near the teacher, small group instruction, meet with counselor before school and after to discuss if we started on time, stayed on task and ended on time.

And every night, homework was a struggle,  I alternated between bribing, positive reinforcement to taking away ipad time or sometime we would all end up crying or yelling.

We did get an ADHD diagnosis - combined.  Then I spent all the next year in 3rd grade and finally got an IEP.  Accommodations, redirection, homework that was a huge struggle to complete, she would practically get in tears seeing worksheets to complete.

Finally in 4th grade, things are so much better.  We finally decided to medicate, and now she is focused, organized, has better self esteem.  She completes most of her homework in SACC under her own direction, and she needs minimal assistance in the evening (usually) to complete her remaining homework.  [/quote]
