[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With ADHD, writing Chinese characters will be the biggest challenge.  The strokes must be done in a specific order and the only way to learn them is through hardcore practice (writing them over and over and over).[/quote]

DC never had a Chinese teacher who required hand written characters. You should know how to read and pronounce but you can type them out. Even if your child gets a teacher who requires writing your child could ask for an accommodation to type.[/quote]

PP w/DS who did 6yrs of Chinese in MCPS: just sharing this for the record in case other parents are curious about Chinese in MCPS. My DS started pre-pandemic but his work was almost entirely hand-written characters. It's pretty minimal at the beginning but he filled notebooks with handwritten classwork and homework. He has incredibly messy/childlike writing in English but his Chinese writing always looked like works of art to me! [/quote]

Was it required or optional? Most teachers we know do not require hand writing characters but some kids like to do it. With ADHD you could also ask for accommodations to type everything anyway.[/quote]
