[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My similar kid is now in college and doing really well. (its a small lower ranked LAC that is perfect for him).

What helped him was - staying in honors classes (regular classes were same in terms of missed assignments but the work was more boring so he didn't do it)

adderall in the morning so he was better at school and turned in work, etc - the meds were most important here

tutors that helped him study

extra time on tests.[/quote]

+1 all of the above helped my 2e senior with ADHD (also in Catholic high school). DC only needed tutors in math though. I also enrolled DC in an EF skills boot camp prior to freshman year.

As homework ramped up junior year, we added a booster dose of meds at lunch.  Also, starting in junior year, on Saturday mornings I sat down with DC to make sure DC has mapped out their homework/study plan for each day of the week. (DC also does a lot of ECs on top of an all honor class workload). As a senior DC can now do this mapping without me.

DC has gotten straight As in HS.  [/quote]
