[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a rising 4th grader and presents with symptoms of ADHD-inattentive but actually has sleep apnea. She has low processing speed, problems with working memory, and weaknesses in sustained attention. Math is the subject she struggles with the most. She has a hard time memorizing math facts. Handwo is excellent. Good at reading but has some difficulty with remembering details when she has to respond to reading comprehension questions in writing bc it involves mental planning and organizing of details. She needs a lot more time on tests and assignments. She has a 504 plan that provides the right supports and is doing well in school. [/quote]

What do they do when kids have sleep apnea? Do they make CPAP masks for kids or do they take out tonsils or something?[/quote]

Yes to both. Tonsil and adenoids removal is usually the first line of treatment. If surgery doesn’t improve it, kids can use a CPAP if sleep apnea is moderate to severe. Many kids will outgrow sleep apnea over time when their airways get bigger. Just depends on what is causing the breathing obstruction. [/quote]
