[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you done a full neuropsych evaluation, or just an ADHD diagnosis through her doctor? If you haven't done the full evaluation I would to make sure there's not something like a processing disorder as well.[/quote] This. If she has had a full evaluation, contact the person who did it, or schedule a consult with a new provider, to ask about "catching up". If she has not had one, get one. If they are too expensive you can start with an evaluation through the school system. She may have LD or other disabilities that are affecting her learning. Agree that at some point blaming the pandemic doesn't make sense anymore.[/quote] +2. As a mom of an ADHDer and former teacher, things aren’t adding up. You need a neuropsych evaluation to look for LDs like dyscalculia and to determine IQ and processing speed. If you have had this, then you need to reevaluate whether she is properly medicated. ADHDers can make careless mistakes in Math which can lead to bad grades. You need to find out what the teacher thinks. Is she making careless mistakes, unable to grasp concepts, or zoning out during Math (because it is a non preferred activity)?[/quote]
