OP,

I know several teens with ADHD, including my son, who is now in college, and I've seen that outsourcing the EF management only works for mild ADHD, because:

1. The more severe cases need EF help morning and evening, outside of business hours, every single day, for life tasks that are not just forgetting to hand in homework. This was the case for my son. There is no coach (unless it's a live-in nanny!) that can address that. Since my husband and I were doing the monitoring/nagging/directing, we just did it all.

2. EF coaches are extremely expensive for what they do. I have paid $200/hr for excellent AP Calc or ACT tutors for my son, over a month to review for AP or ACT exams, but I will not pay an EF coach that much every week for the foreseeable future!

So everything will depend on your child's needs.

For middle and part of high school, my son had a resource class in his MCPS public, that went with his IEP, and every day he benefited from a teacher who checked he'd written down his homework, handed in assignments, and gave him extra time to finish tests and schoolwork (extended time accommodation). This was a very useful accompaniment to the functioning help we gave him at home.

I love learning about a resource class. Do you or others happen to know if this is something APS offers in HS? [/quote]
