Make sure his teachers contact you when he's not turning in assignments. That may need to be put in an IEP, but do it. I never had a formal IEP for my son because he wasn't diagnosed with Asperger's until he was halfway through his senior year of high school. Fortunately he attended a small (45 kids in his grade) independent school, and I was at school frequently. When teachers would see me in the hallway they'd let me know if he was missing homework.
