[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it would be the best solution.

ADHD students do not do well with an online homeschooling program if it doesn't also have the physical presence of an adult breathing down their necks. So pick whatever method (online or textbooks or both) you want, but always have a competent adult to provide redirection at the very least, or instructional support as well.

It will cost a lot of money to hire a warm body to supervise him every day, OP. But if you homeschool an ADHD kid, there really isn't another good option. It's either you and a salary loss or someone you hire that costs money.

Continuing my post - which is why we chose to stay in the public school system. Luckily, we never had to fight the schools for IEPs, services or accommodations. It's not politically correct to say it, but I've observed families with children with special needs in MCPS for years, and I've noticed that special needs are treated better in the wealthier clusters, particularly those with existing special programs in their schools. My son ended up in one of them, the GT/LD program (Gifted and talented, learning disabled). He had an IEP in Kindergarten, and is now in high school. We ended up saving a lot of money we would otherwise have spent on private school or homeschooling, and he's had a good education so far.
