Does she have an existing 504 plan?
What does it document as a "need" related to her ADHD?
I'd think that the answer isn't necessarily to make it so that those things are not GRADED for your DD, but to instead make it so that she has coaching/guidance/scaffolding so that they happen the way that they should.
It's a more long-term strategy. With EF issues of any kind, you have to learn to scaffold for yourself using routine external supports. Until you get there, though, you have to have adults who can help REMIND you to do that stuff. Simply modeling it isn't enough for all kids.
How much reminding/etc. are YOU doing at home with the agenda and homework? If you're already doing all of that-- that is, having a system of organizing, etc with her-- then what is the teacher(s) failing to do on the other side of things?
Ask for homework at the same point each day, remind students about writing down agenda info and providing dedicated class time to do it in, providing the info in both auditory and visual methods... that kind of thing.
Right?
