[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the mom of an ADHD kid and as someone who had undiagnosed ADD through my school years, I've learned you have to get after your kid to follow-up when assignments are not clear. While I appreciate accommodations, there is a line. We have to prepare our kids with techniques to cope in the job market and the real world, where not everyone will bend over backwards for our kids.[/quote] Agree 100%. We can cripple our children and not prepare them for life if we do not help them find their own ways to cope and manage their disability. [/quote]

NP.  Agree as well.  Both at home and at school ("self advocate, self advocate, self advocate").  Yes, also to Commonwealth Academy.  The program is designed to teach the kids how to deal with ADHD via a system of supports and organizational tools and methods.  By late sophomore to early junior year, the extra supports are removed (100% go on to college).  It's 3-12.  I wish I had known about it for my DC who is now having difficulty in college even though he had an IEP and attended privates that were supposed to help.  The fact of the matter is that so much is whirling around in his head that he can't write a paper.  And it's too late to teach that now.[/quote]
