[quote=Anonymous]My middle schooler as inattentive ADHD. From my observations, it's not so much the in attention, but cognitive aspects of executive functioning like weak working memory and processing speed that makes foreign language learning challenging. DC is very good at learning vocab and mastering grammar rules. However, composition is very taxing on his ADHD brain. When he has to read a passage, understand what the question is asking, and plan a response in French [i]while[/i] incorporating the new vocabulary, the correct verb endings, and adjective agreement, or whatever grammar rule of the week -- everything slows down. And many careless mistakes ensue. [/quote]
