[quote=Anonymous]DD is an 8th grader at Hamm, getting mostly As with occasional B here and there. In Geometry this year so on advanced math track and taken all years of available Spanish.

She has been diagnosed with mild ADHD, so is quite disorganized — room is a mess, papers everywhere, backpack overflowing with paper etc. however she does well on tests and turns in assignments (partly because so much is done on computer and that has a self organizing nature).  She also has some visual processing issues, and is a reluctant reader but loves audiobooks. She will generally work through assigned reading, but does bare minimum and never reads for fun except audiobooks.

She really wants to attend WL because her best friends are going there and we are not particularly wealthy so think the diverse scene at WL will be better than YT.

With appropriate support from her 504, does it seem likely she will manage through the required IB courses at WL?  I know it has a lot of reading, but maybe there will be text to audio options (like with ChatGPT supports for instance)?  How will her accommodations interact with the IB and AP courses?

On a completely different track, if she has trouble we were thinking of switching to Arlington Tech — is that possible to enter as a sophomore, as long as she is on the advanced math track?

TLDR: How is WL IB for ADHD reading reluctant students?
