[quote=Anonymous]We used a well known educational consultant once. I was worried about my DC's ADHD and language deficits (no ASD) and where he could go to a school that would remediate them. The consultant basically, said that remediation was important, but just as important, if not more important is educating to a kid's strengths, because that was what was going to keep him afloat amidst the weaknesses. He was absolutely right, and years later my DC's interest and ability in math/science has given him a place in college and many good career options even though he will never write anything longer than a 3 page memo. And, furthermore, the best treatment for his ADHD (medicine aside) is to feed his hyperfocus - that means access to challenging classes. [/quote]
