[quote=Anonymous]Include large assignments to be chunked- broken down into smaller assignments

Allow for extra time (not sure why others don't want this, ours needs it)

You can choose for one of the electives to be a resource class, where the kids do homework and can get help from teachers, but we've found this to be more for kids with processing issues than ADHD.

We were told organization skills were taught in grade 3 (when our kid didn't need them), and not later. In 6th, we got a once a week Exec Function coach who worked with him through HS.  Not covered by insurance and not cheap, but worth it if you are able to throw $$ at the problem.  They help your kid manage assignments, teach them org skills (mine has a folder for each class, each a different color, one side assignments that need to be turned in, the other for things that the class is done with).  Ask the school counselor for names, ask your friends (you might be surprised at who else uses EF coaches), ask on your school list serv.  [/quote]
