[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be anti-block.  But now I can see how good it is for my ADHD MS DC.  They don't have to focus hard for 90 minutes straight because the teachers break up the time into different activities, including time to complete independent work.  This means that DC doesn't have homework, which is great for pursuing the ECs that they are serious about and great for our family's sanity.  (I know this will change in high school, but we'll adjust because we are aware that it is coming.)  DC also benefits right now from not having to executive-function 7 classes in one day.  That much stuff, that much shifting of gears and locations and expectations, that many trips to the locker, and that much input would be hard on them.  As an ADHD parent, however, I am totally aware that some other ADHD kids might need the shake-up, motion, and variety to stay plugged in.  It's great that different MSs have different schedules and we have some ability to (try to) select between them.[/quote]
