[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much for posting this.  I've been torn about whether AAP is the right environment for our high ability but easily distractable DD. She often misses verbal instructions and written instructions on tests (sometimes not even answering the right question, yet demonstrating comprehension on what she thought the question was...)  We are in the process of doing evaluations to try to determine what's going on. Your posting provides some light at the end of the tunnel regarding what might work to help her to be more successful.  I believe this would still be an issue whether or not she's in AAP. It's just been made all the more apparent given the demands of the program.

One of the many benefits of an AAP Center is the expertise of the teachers and the staff. My DC is twice exceptional and the teachers and counselors at the AAP Center have so much more experience with these kids than most teachers at base schools (including in Local Level 4 classes). The teachers and counseling staff have helped DC figure out what accommodations work best in the classroom. DC was able to tell this year's teacher what would work well (seating away from the window, reminders about writing down homework assignments in a planner, etc.) and is getting practice at asking for these things of teachers directly, all before starting middle school.
