[quote=Anonymous]I have a first grader who has been diagnosed with adhd/anxiety for two years, but was also recently diagnosed with ASD level 1 and a ready disability.

He struggles with social cues, back and forth conversation outside his areas of interest (not always, but significant enough), hyperactivity/focus, processing disappointment and at school, he can struggle with the demands placed on him for attention and executive functioning - things like sustained attention to work, initiating independent work and consistently adhering to instructions for independent work. He can get overwhelmed and refuse to do his work. Not all the time, but enough that it’s interfering with his academics.

He is medicated for his adhd and anxiety which helps a lot. We have an IEP in place, looking at schools for reading disability. He did OT privately for a few years and does a social skills group now. We have a reading tutor and a behavioral/executive functioning coach. Trying to tease out what supports he needs academically, behaviorally and adaptively.

All of that said, what interventions worked best for your audhd child? I feel like we’ve tried a lot. It’s expensive and would love to hear from parents who’ve been there what made the biggest difference in your child’s ability to “go with the flow,” regulate emotionally on a daily basis, and help socially.
