[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends so much on individual kid.  Making lists and providing structure.  You have to get that poor working memory accounts for a lot of organizational deficits and managing complexity can be a challenge.  It's about simplifying things and making it easier to remember to do.  It's really not rocket science.  Think about ways you multi task efficiently.  You have to teach it to someone who can't intuitively figure this out. A planned or something to track activities and assignments is the first step.  You're essentially teaching skills to be able to simplify tasks and timelines - think about how your kid responds and work from there.  [b]On some level I hate to tell you even having the money isn't as effective as figuring how to 1:1 work with your kid because you know them best.  [/b]The concepts are same but techniques are different.  No 2 people are the same even without learning disabilities it's not like it's magic going from point A to B for anyone whether ADHD or not!  Do some work, research with effort and realize that as a parent you can help your kid!!!![/quote]
You can put in all the research, effort, and time, you can know your kid best and you can learn all the techniques that work for them.  But some kids can't get over the emotional hurdle of working with their parents.  A PP asked what kids do who can't afford this.  I think they make do, and it's not always pretty.
