[quote=Anonymous]Following this as I have HS senior whom we finally had assessed this year. He has strong grades and actually just got into a competitive college early decision. But he works SO hard to get his grades, like hours of studying and multiple tutors, and math has always been a particular challenge. The FAM results came back at 4% of grade level. The doctor suggested we don't need to do anything different at this stage since he's unlikely to take much math in college. Tests also confirmed moderate ADHD.

Since one of the PPs asked about higher-level math I can share our experience. He has been a year behind the normal track in math because we bumped him down in MS, but generally got As in honors classes in MCPS. As a senior he's taking precalc and AP Stats to boost his college app prospects. Tons of outside supplementing to make sure he is absorbing the material, but he's got an A and a B.

And to state the obvious, I really wish we'd pursued this when he was younger - every time we asked a teacher or counselor about his grades or struggles, they would say he was careless or just needed to work harder.[/quote]
