[quote=Anonymous]Honestly - see a psychiatrist and see if ADHD medication would help. Get a tutor so she can start seeing she is not stupid and IS able to learn with the right kind of help.  Get an executive function tutor who can do a deep dive on her grades and start figuring out why she is failing - is she failing tests and quizzes? is she finishing them w/i time? what kind of errors is she making - attentional, impulsive or substantive? is she turning in assignments late or not at all?  Many ADHD kids don’t understand why they are getting the grades they are getting.

Did the school do a *full* psychoeducational assessment by the school psychologist - that means IQ testing and a *full* battery of achievement testing that tests all components of reading, math and writing as well as questionnaires to assess for anxiety, depression and attention.  If the school didn’t do this, they didn't really meet their child find obligation and  then you really can’t be sure what is going on with her.  Did they do this kind of testing? [/quote]
