[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specifically, it's a processing speed issue.
But it's largely diagnosed with inattentive ADHD.

Please get her evaluated by a reputable psychologist.

My son has inattentive ADHD and very low processing speed, and his ADHD medication makes him work much faster, that is, nearly up to average speed.

The OP already did that.  She needs to drop a class or needs to do homework at the dining room table.  Kid's are goofing off on their phones or the computer and not doing what they're supposed to be doing.[/quote]

I said a reputable psychologist, which automatically rules out anything the school offers.
I recommend testing again with Stixrud or similar. This is NOT normal and needs to be resolved ASAP. [/quote]

Where did OP say it was done through the school?[/quote]

OP did not specify, which is why I'm insisting on this important fact.

But you still could be completely off base. So OP took her kid's phone away and made her block "distracting sites." For all we know the kid still have a messaging app on her computer she uses to chat with her friends and has only blocked the three distracting sites that her mother knows about. So she's goofing around on her computer all evening, and then when she thinks she going to get into trouble for staying up to late, claims "too much homework." OP doesn't have nearly enough information yet for her, you or anyone else to know what the problem is. Not all kids have the same issues, so it's not helpful to insist on seeing them all through the same lens.[/quote]
