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!) Chunk up the assignment is a great idea with small breaks in between. Use a time to your advantage. For example, when they finish 5 problems then the get a 2 minute break, and once the timer goes off they must do the next set of problems. I found it very helpful for a student to have a fidget fix during the small breaks. An exercise band tied to the chair allows students to put their feet on it to fidget while staying in their seat.
