[quote=Anonymous]Nothing worked for us until we found Commonwealth Academy.  We tried everything including $$ private school with $$ tutors with $$ psychologist and $$ meds.  C/A changed our DC's life and, in turn, ours.  The school really "gets" kids with ADHD.  And they apply all the techniques described by 11:03 and other modalities like moving to computers quickly. C/A's goal is to instill sufficient organizational techniques in each graduate so they can succeed in college.  Now no meds, no psychologist, tutoring only on difficult subject matters and not on a regular basis, and - interestingly - no ADHD diagnosis.  Now peddled back to executive function issues.  No more missing papers.  No more lost projects.  No more angry teachers.  No more calls to teachers saying "Help, we don't get the assignment".  I can't speak for all the parents but this is the only thing that worked for us in dealing with what we then thought was an ADHD child.  I'm not an administrator or anyone plugging the school on purpose, just a very happy parent who spent thousands of dollars on other privates and other ways of dealing with ADHD and learned that changing schools was the only way - for us as a family - to deal with ADHD and especially the homework issues.  The most important change is that DC is gaining selfconfidence which DC lost in the other schools.  We still have a long road ahead but even our home life is so much more happy with DC taking responsibility for DC's life and homework and schoolwork and becoming proud of DC's abilities.[/quote]
