Thanks for explaining more about IEW! Definitely seems worth pursuing for us.
In the meantime, my son seems to have gotten it together a bit on the writing front. It has apparently registered on him that if he doesn't do it in school, it comes home--and he really doesn't like that. So for the past week or so, he's been doing his writing in school.
It is so hard to figure out what is going on with him, given that he can suddenly get it together (to some extent--because the writing is still quite weak) when sufficiently motivated.
We also laid out clear motivations about school productivity and ASKED him how he was going to make that happen. He came up with a plan that didn't seem to address the challenge at all--yet he is doing somewhat better on the productivity front too.
