[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a junior son with ADHD and autism, who is in a combination of team taught classes as well as IB classes. The inconsistency in the use of Schoology has been a literal nightmare for him. Every single teacher uses it differently. Of his seven classes,  I would say three consistently put things on the calendar, some teachers do the paper calendar schedule, while others just “tell” the kids when test or quizzes are coming. It is impossible to navigate and I bring this up every single IEP meeting. He is pretty much surviving high school by playing constant catch up on sis with a tutor. We hired the tutor simply because we were having so many negative interactions with our child about missing school work that it was having a great impact on our overall relationship.   [/quote]

Have you taught him to make his own calendar?  Either paper or google?  He can source things from various inputs to consolidate in one place.  Then he can add things like sports practice and dr. appointments and work shifts too.  Such a great life skill for our teens to leave us with.  Real life doesn't come from 1 input.[/quote]

A reasonable accommodation would be to have teachers list upcoming tests/assignments SOMEWHERE. Not enforcing that they all use the exact same system. I worry for any child who goes to college that can't navigate Schoology. [/quote] He has no issue navigating schoology. Teachers do not use it consistently, if at all. He has had an accommodation for years for teachers to provide support/reminder in filling out an agenda. The idea would be to establish this habit with support and phase out the reminders. This year’s case manager decided to try paper with her Strategies for Success class this year. It is written in his IEP. Only 3 of his teachers follow though. We have tried everything. [/quote]
