[quote=Anonymous]Definitely get him tested by a specialist. ADHD and processing speed are two separate diagnoses, but are a frequent pair. My DS has both, very bright, and has managed in PS on a 504 plan. The only accommodation he uses is the extra time for testing. He is a mostly A student...any B he gets is due to forgetting to pass in homework...there is definitely an executive functioning component as well. He is in 8th grade now and was diagnosed in 2nd. Next year he is going to a private HS...not one known for accommodating any special needs. He will get his usual extra time for tests. We feel this is a good opportunity for him to start self advocating. Once you have an official DX you can get support from your teachers. If you stay public, you will need a 504 or ILP. Good luck. He will be fine with the right support. [/quote]
