[quote=Anonymous]Our DD has inattentive adhd and dyslexia. Similar IQ scores: very high verbal and performace IQ, very low processing speed and working memory. She is at a private school so process less formal for us, but the neuropsych recommended and the school accepted various accomodations, including allowing DD time and a half on times tests, reduced # of problems on math homework, using calculator in timed math tests.... and we also started her on adderall, at a pretty low dose. FWIW, last year her standardized test scores were abysmal (ERBS) -- this year they were well above average. So I think the extra time helped a lot, and perhaps the meds, too.[/quote]
