[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meds make a pretty big difference.... We also had to hire tutors and a "cognitive skills coach" who has helped with self-awareness and executive functioning. The schools aren't really equipped for this; 504 plans and IEPs haven't done anything. We had to pay for private coaching and tutoring. It's expensive, but working. [/quote] In our case, the EF coach and tutor were a waste of money UNTIL we started the meds. In fact, the EF tutor wasn't teaching anything different from what I had been trying to instill since birth, but he couldn't learn it. Only with the meds can he access what the tutors are trying to teach.[/quote] I’m a SAT tutor, and I definitely notice an objective performance difference when students are on or off meds. Trying to do school work while off meds is such a heavy lift for some kids! [/quote]
