I teach students with Autism and Asperger's Snydrome and find that many of my students are unmotivated and disorganized! For many of those students I have had to help them get organized and then check in every 3 to 4 weeks
to make sure they are maintaining the organization. He might need a visual schedule. Even if he is a reader maybe he needs pictures with his words to help it be more concrete and predictable. I have made a million different kinds of schedules. With pictures, without pictures, in a planner and protable, on a small piece of paper just on his desk. If you are interested more about schedules

e-mail me and I will e-mail you a really good web-site! I also have organized desks. Where there were pictures of what needed to be where in the desk, actually contact papered into the desk. I put velcro on pencils and crayons and velcroed them in the desk or in a pencil box for easy access!!! I have taught special education for 15 years and am just putting in transfer to make a change in general education. I realize there will be TONS of learning for me - having the higher end and trying to keep them challenged but I do believe there will be some similarities! E-mail is cathy.hayes@usd305.com
