[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]Are progressive schools good for ADHD Inattentive kids for K onwards? [/b] Or will all that play and slower pacing/kid driven (ie hyperfocus) just delay the diagnosis and create bigger problems later? I.e. can’t decode, doesn’t like math, only likes hyperfocus and school progressively lets him focus there, no tests or grades, standards are based on your own progress, etc.[/quote] Not at all. The philosophy depends on the child being internally motivated and self directed with their learning and this starts early on. There is structure to the day and classes but kids need to organize themselves and their work. Often they are put in groups to work and it is expected they will self organize and then work on the project or work. There is also some reliance by teachers that if a child doesn't understand a concept or encounters a new situation they will take the initiative to find answers for themselves[/quote]
