[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Competitive SLAC.  Freshman. 19 credits (he overloaded, but had a good reason). Passed his 3 credit P/F Classes (intro to college life, executive functioning in college for ADHD students, amd music lessons for non-majors).  B+in one hardcore STEM. Three classes outstanding. Expecting a B/B+ in one and A/A- in the other two.

ADHD kid adjusting to a tough school during COVID. We’ll take it. [/quote]

That executive functioning class sounds amazing. Would you mind sharing the name of the college or giving a big hint so I can google and find it? I have one more son to send off. Thanks! [/quote]

It’s Oberlin. We talked to the learning center/ disability resources when he was admitted, and he had the choice of a one semester P-F class (which is what he did), a weekly peer tutor (student who had successfully adjusted with EF issues) or working 1:1 on a weekly basis with an adult/ EF coach in the learning center. They also have weekly EF meeting on topics like work life balance and how to approach finals.  They offer sound proofed rooms for kids who do telemedicine with a psychiatrist or therapist and want more privacy than dorms, and work with kids on good housing options for ADHD. For example, quiet housing.

We looked at SLACs precisely because of the individual attention and supports for ADHD. I’m so proud of how he has done with beginning college during a pandemic. And so relieved that he’s happy, loves the school and has managed a tough academic load on his own. [/quote]
