At the beginning of the year, he was fairly diligent about completing assignments and turning in his work. This second half of the semester he is barely turning anything in. Also I have to constantly redirect his attention more than usual and literally stand over him to help him complete an assignment. The counselors and myself learned that he is no longer on his medication and there is no sight that he will be put back on it due to financial issues. Any suggestion on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have a friend who uses a timer. The timer is set on the student's desk and the student has to race against the timer to complete certain tasks. The trick is through, that the teacher ask the student how long he/she thinks it would take them to complete the tasks (within reason of course) and the student is able to make his/her own boundaries, setting the time themselves (if capable). Giving students a choice or say in their learning can sometimes aid in encouragement.
