[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if this will help any because my kids are so much younger but I had a very similar conversation just yesterday with my DS's 3rd grade teachers. He's got ADHD (primarily inattentive) and we were talking about his challenges. He, of course, also has organizational issues and I was asking how can we start getting him ready for high school. I know we have to start now to ingrain appropriate compensating techniques and skills. His special ed teacher told me that no matter his age, it is absolutely appropriate to allow him additional time for testing and to allow movement breaks. We have a lot of work to do on organization, initiation, attention, etc. but she said that additional time on tests is not something we should seek to reduce - even in high school. Our challenge is getting DS to recognize that he must ask for additional time and not feel the pressure to complete it in the time given to everyone else. HTH.[/quote]
