[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, this transition is how we discovered our smart kid had ADHD. Previously there was nothing to juggle, not a lot of need for EF skills, everything was done in class at a slow pace. In hindsight, he says it seemed that the whole program was designed to accommodate ADHD for all, whether you have it or not. At the new private, with high expectations and real homework, with no built-in/invisible accommodations, it all fell apart. But even if your kid does not have ADHD, did he ever really have a chance to learn how to use EF skills before now? He's going to need scaffolding and support until it becomes habit. Most people are not born knowing how to do this. It takes teaching and practice. We are so glad it happened before college. Now the kid is getting what he needs from us to build real skills, practice them, and succeed in school.[/quote]
