[quote=Anonymous]OP, Many schools have services for kids with ADHD or executive functioning issues. Your kid is growing and may need appropriate adjustment to medications but be in an environment that can support his challenges. Medication only works if your kid is taking it appropriately. Since summer is coming up, this it the time to assure that your kid knows basic life skills, like knowing how and when to take meds. Can your kid independently bathe, do laundry, know how to prepare food etc. So many kids end up away from home and haven't learned the basics. Don't do an Outward Bound type program unless your kid has expressed a specific interest. There's always volunteer work to be found that could match his interests and now would be the time to talk to a behavioral specialist if the basics aren't being met.[/quote]
