[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those 2E parents out there-how is AAP working for you? I have a second grader in the pool, has combined type ADHD and IEP and doing really well on meds this year. We saw DC's AAP file recently and an acceptance seems likely based on the teacher recs.

I want DC to stay engaged and do well without being overwhelmed-currently DC is advanced in math but has had reading struggles, currently at grade level. For those in a similar position, did your child do well at the center? Where did you experience difficulty? [/quote]

I have a 4th grader in AAP who has ADHD combined type.  His academics were always very strong in both reading and math though.  He is thriving academically (all A's in academics so far this year).  They recently finished the Caesars English workbook (I loved this), which may be a challenge if you have reading issues., but perhaps this different way of learning things might be helpful.

For us, the difficulties are the same as they have always been, with organization, impulsivity (not aggressive), and attention/focus.  We are working through some medication trials right now...so far, have not found any magic ticket.  My son is in a LLIV, and I am seriously contemplating the center for next year, hoping that these teachers may have more experience and techniques for working with children with ADHD.  His teacher and I talk frequently (he has a 504 plan) and though he often seems to be unfocused, or reading when he is supposed to be paying attention, she said he always knows the answer when she calls on him.[/quote]
