Abstract
Nearly every secondary-age student must complete homework for their classes, and for many students with disabilities, completing homework at home is a struggle. Students with disabilities often require substantial support to execute homework assignments, and this responsibility frequently falls to their families. This dynamic can create a stressful environment for working at home. Although supports may be in place at school to ensure a student’s success, at home, families often wonder how to reduce stress and improve their child’s success during homework time. This article provides middle and high school special education teachers and case managers with a step-by-step plan for supporting families and their students as they plan for and implement a structured homework routine with built-in supports.
