[quote=Anonymous]For my kid with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and EF challenges the biggest challenge was the EF. It drives all the rest. It’s hard to motivate yourself to find and use the audio version of a short story or essay, or figure out text speech and take notes. Thee are online assignments and paper assignments and things due at random times and in different ways (turn this in on Google classroom, this in by email). My kid refused an EF tutor, but that is what would have helped him most. We did get him a math tutor for parts of some years to get him through, and he accepted that. He is in college now, which I hope gives you some hope. And you know what he told me the other day? “Mom, you know what most of my classes do? They just assign all the week’s work for Friday, every week. All quizzes and exams are on Friday. It is so simple!” He’s doing great, and he matured SO MUCH between freshman fall and senior spring. Hang in there.[/quote]
