[quote=Anonymous]So sorry you're in this situation! I did not read all the posts, but have a few suggestions.

First - have you tried 1:1 lessons in any areas of interest? E.g., individual gymnastics, swimming, etc. This isn't nearly the same amount of time as a group camp, but could be a way to get him involved in activities in a way he can access now. If you find a coach/teacher who has experience with ADHD, it would probably work out 1:1 if they are on the same page that the goal is just to have him participate in an activity to the extent that he can. Next, have you tried a 1:1 aide in any of these settings? If you can afford it or get it covered through insurance, there will likely be more programs able to work with his needs.

On a different note - hang in there! For children with ADHD, hyperactivity often does improve with age and maturity. While your child will continue to have these challenges, hyperactivity often becomes more manageable throughout elementary school. Even if these things aren't working out for him now, it doesn't mean that they never will. It is okay if he's at home this summer if nothing is working, and try again when he's a bit older. [/quote]
