[quote=Anonymous]Don’t assume it’s an issue. Some kids with ADHD do fine. Mine is now an adult but we just took it slow. She got her learners as soon as she was eligible. We literally did 10-20 minute drives so it took a long time to hit 60 hours. I used lots of praise. I made sure to always emphasize minimizing distractions and being aware of other drivers, pedestrians and animals along with street signs. We used I Drive Smart and the instructors were great. She worked with 3 different ones who provided very positive feedback which gave me confidence that a variety of experts thought she was safe. By about 40 hours she was pretty proficient and by the time we completed the 60 i had complete confidence in her abilities. I would stress that being properly medicated is vital![/quote]
