[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We hired an EF coach AND a therapist.

For a long time, DD resisted any help at all but spring semester of senior year in high school was a disaster with DD almost getting a D because they forgot to turn in an assignment. The school gave her unofficial accommodations. Even after that, I saw DD had a B in another class only because they "failed" an assignment they did and never turned in. I had to help them get that sorted out with a very strict teacher and a helpful and kind principal.

While they have good grades, they put in HOURS. The distractions make everything take longer.

The EF coach taught them some strategies. They began using their calendar and implementing other ideas from the coach. The cost was around $100 for 30 minutes or $150 for a hour.

Eventually, DD didn't think she was learning more from the EF coach.

When a spot opened up in the university's program for ADD kids, DD took a spot there. Now, they have a group meeting and a 1-1 coach from the university. This program was an extra $2,000 or so.

DD had to drop math in fall semester. I suspect they have another undiagnosed LD related to math or that ADD makes math hard for them.

The good news is that DD handled dropping the class with their advisor. They made adult decisions about this on their own and then informed us, and I was happy to see them starting to take charge of their disabilities and manage them as well as they can.

I'm nervous about the grades, but I also know everything will work out. People love this kid and gravitate toward her. She has fantastic friends and will probably get a great job due to her personality and work ethic.
