[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gonzaga is a wonderful school but doesn’t offer some of the supports that are out there. Your organization comment makes me wonder if there are some executive functioning issues. It may not hurt to get him evaluated for ADHD even if he’s showing no other symptoms. If he has ADHD or another executive functioning disorder, the Benilde program at SJC can help with all of that. [/quote]

No just no.  Many ADHD kids can function just fine with the right tools.  My son who has ADHD and exec. functioning issues graduated from GZ and went on to a top 20 college.  Did he have to work hard and longer?  Yes.  But it can be done.  They have come far in their supports for these kids.  For example, when he started as a 9th grader, he was expected to self advocate to get extra time on tests, requiring him to request the accommodation for each and every test at least a day in advance.  That requirement has gone away and now they automatically give the kids the accommodations.  I actually think this requirement may have helped him though.
