[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] I can't imagine there are many parents who would not agree with this. The question is: how do we teach the kid those skills and techniques, and how do we support them while they are mastering those skills? I tell my kids that the diagnosis/testing identifies the areas where they will have to work extra hard, as well as the areas where they learn easily but other kids have to work extra hard.[/quote]
