[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the school have office for disable, something like that? I think these kids need some system support. For example the professions give extended deadline and etc. I am very worried about mine too. Mine is in high school, with some help, the report cards are great. But without any help, it could totally crash.[/quote]

You aren’t getting extended deadlines in college. Won’t happen. You get a syllabus, the end. She needs to drop classes and don’t take more than she can handle. Or try community college where mommy can babysit.[/quote]

Agree.  Meanly said, but true.  Deadline extensions aren’t the answer anyway.  They will still poorly manage time and procrastinate to the new deadline.  If your child has ADHD that is not well managed, sending them away to college with a full load of classes is a bad idea.  The solution is either to be a part time student with fewer classes. Maybe get a job too so they can have some varied practice in getting tasks completed on time and time management outside of the school setting [/quote]
