[quote=Anonymous]There’s such a range of severity to ADHD that it’s almost hard to glean from comments. Your DD sounds like she’s struggled more than some and has needed more help than some, which would make me worry about going with the “my kid did fine at a big school” crowd, unless really understanding what the disability services office can do that impacts a student on a daily basis. Most professors at large schools can be very friendly of course when you go in advance for help,but it is true that they are absolutely not babysitting anyone, and would have no idea who is and isn’t showing up for large classes and would not communicate with them about their absence. It’s just really easy to skip classes or fade into the woodwork, if you’re not a self-starter. STEM classes can be especially hard, since they are so large and also more detail oriented. I would try to find a smaller school that she likes. [/quote]
