[quote=Anonymous]I think you will be best able to help him when you stop assuming that this is willful and due to a lack of motivation. He is already working so much harder than other students to stay on task in class. That requires a lot of motivation. His brain literally works differently than what is typical. There are some great books about the ADHD brains and its strengths and challenges. I would read a few to understand how to help him. Who diagnosed him with ADHD? That person can probably write a letter to the school with the diagnosis and suggested accommodations. You may want to enlist the help of a therapist, executive function coach, school advocate or someone familiar with what kind of accommodations can help your DS. I found a neuropsych report to be really informative and it helped me understand my DS and how he learns much better, but it is not the only path to accommodations.[/quote]
