[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did an eval. He has ADHD and that’s one of the underlying issues. Some of the classes would be transferable, probably a year’s worth. He needs more support by being at home. HS was a battle but doable. College has been rough and things have gotten worse.[/quote]

One of the issues? What is the list? Is he medicated for the stuff that can be medicated and are you observing any side effects? Sometimes giving a cocktail of meds doesn't work out because of interactions, etc. So people pick and choose which diagnosis to treat. For example, since ADHD and anxiety can exacerbate each other, some families choose to treat the anxiety, not the ADHD. We chose to treat the ADHD, not the anxiety. Some do both, but you need to be careful not to zonk out your kid. It's all very delicate and trial and error.

It's nice some classes will transfer. Perhaps you can help him enroll, since he needs help doing that, just do he doesn't miss any deadlines. And then take it one day at a time.
