I go to an all girls, private high school. I have my diagnoses on file, and I hav accomodations. I have been working with the learning specialist on campus on organization, etc. she was asking me where i turn in hw, and I told her that the teacher doesn't collect it. she thought that was bad, and thought that I would be able to stay on top of everything if I knew that it was going to collected daily (I would put things off because i knew he wouldn't ask for it: the old "ill do it ltr"). So she said she would talk to him. I thought she was going to hav it so that everyone would hav the hw collected daily, as it should be. but instead, he said that he will collect *my* hw daily. I don't think that is fair. that is not an accomodation that i hav in place, and its not one that I want. what do i do?

What was the process by which your current accommodations were documented and put in place? What adults (teachers, parents, learning specialist, etc.) were involved?

my psychologist talked with the learning specialist and the academic dean... And they took it from there

You could discuss the pros and cons of the situation with your psychologist.

No I don't want to hang on to my bad habits. But it stresses me out and overwhelmes me that now I all of a sudden have to do all of it. I want to somehow have it done but not be under the immediate pressure... I don't know what I want really. I am just like EEEEK!

Thus, a fine opportunity to think through pros and cons with your psychologist!
