Nope, the school has an obligation to address these gaps. [/quote]
Exactly. And students with disabilities, particularly ADHD, will not respond effectively to the attention demands of Saturday school or afterschool tutoring, when they need to be recovering from the school week (which is more demanding on them neurologically than those without such LDs). The learning and gaps need to be addressed with teachers present during the school day. [/quote]

I wonder if the right thing is for teachers to give the kids a break during school with classes that don’t really do anything for kids with ADHD and have the school get them a tutor during that time. DD’s school counselor let her drop a class that wasn’t necessary and she is doing study hall instead. School was a lot less stressful both because she didn’t have to do the assignments and she didn’t have to go to a boring class. And I don’t see why kids with ADHD can’t just get completely different math instruction from a tutor during their math class time.

But I don’t know how this would shake out in high school and I’m sure many schools would scoff at parents who asked for this. [/quote]
