[quote=Anonymous]DC is passionate about becoming a pilot, so we weaned off meds and started cognitive therapy in middle school. He's doing okay in high school - not taking any difficult classes because he doesn't need AP or honors-level classes to get into most college aviation programs. He knows he'll have to submit grades to the FAA when he applies for his medical to prove that he doesn't have any ongoing ADHD symptoms, so he tries. We have a writing tutor. He's very motivated to become a pilot and stay off meds. That said, mornings are still super hard, and I really have to regulate his devices, and I don't let him see friends if he has a grade lower than a B in any class or assignment, and I don't know that he could get through English or social science courses without the tutor's help. But it seems to be working. [/quote]
