[quote=Anonymous]I have a 7th grade boy who sounds very similar to yours. He has ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder. He also has slow processing speed. He was in private school for years, where he bombed standardized tests. As in, scored at 10% and below.... He's in a public school and now scoring in the high average area on those MAP tests (?). First, unless he's super motivated for that program, I would not put him through any of it. None. I'd discuss other options with him. If he is super-motivated, I'd put him in a structured test prep program where you are removed from the situation. The whole parent/student mix can exacerbate anxiety even if you don't mean it to. Third, I'd still have him plan out a Plan B if he doesn't get in. Or even a Plan C. Having the options clearly defined beforehand helps reduce anxiety.
