[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the suggestions. At home I definitely have them say out loud first what they want to write and then write which helps. Sometimes we do this over dinner so that they already have processed the writing prompt before they sit down with the paper. I try not to dictate it back verbatim while they are writing because I worry about them being too dependent on me but I’m intrigued by the idea of having them type first then copy it back out themselves. . . It’s so hard sometimes to figure out what support will help them build skill over time and get better at it and what support might stunt their growth. . .

Remember the ADHD brains is about 2 years behind in attention related skills (not intelligence) until age 25. Give the help needed when it's needed.[/quote]
