[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank for your responses. At this point, I would not say that she is "tanking" in school, but I do not think she is performing up to her abilities most of the time. I'm not sure how teaching her organization would help; we do this anyway just to prepare her for junior high, but I don't see it helping attention. In response to the first poster, it absolutely matters to me whether there is a medical reason behind this, because I would try meds to see if they help. The fact that she is articulating this to me tells me that it is of concern to her; that she notices or feels that she is different. Plus, I feel terrible sending her off to school when her teachers think poorly of her because she is not focused on desk work. I could make an intellectual argument that most teachers fail to appreciate kids who show their knowledge differently from how the teacher requests, but that wouldn't change the fact is she knows that she is not appreciated.[/quote]
