OP,

I posted before about my child with significant ADHD who receives 12 hours a week of support.

I forgot to mention that we are a multicultural, bilingual family. My son goes to a weekend school to learn how to write in his native language (involves a lot of grammar, which he hates and has difficulty with) - he already knows how to speak and read it. These things did not come easily to him. We were nearly refused services from Infants and Toddlers in MoCo because his delays were thought to stem from his bilingualism and not from developmental issues - later on they backtracked, but not before we had lost what I thought was valuable early intervention time. I am particularly aware that teachers and special educators here will constantly trot out the anti-bilingual argument, saying it's too much, blah blah blah. Rubbish. Your child will have to work harder, certainly, but research has shown that learning a second language develops young brains and makes children more adaptable. The goal is long-term brain flexibility, and even a child with ADHD can reach it.
