[quote=Anonymous]I have to go online everyday and look at what assignment is due for my 15 year old with adhd and make a color coded check off list in order to prioritize what is due first.

Work often isn’t completed unless I sit next to him. I am sometimes reading or doing a nyt puzzle so I am not staring at him but I am there when he gets too off task. He also then can take a quick break to talk about random things he thinks of or he will help solve on of the puzzles then gets back to work.

My goal right now is for him to graduate so some homework assignments I help him with short cuts. So sometimes instead of reading a very long chapter of a novel or history text, I can often  find YouTube short documentaries /summaries or I read it aloud to him and we talk about it.

I also am realistic about his classes. He is smart enough to be in all honors classes but he can’t handle that workload and/or the rigidity of some honors teachers. It helps I have an older child so I know or his sibling tells him which teachers are more manageable with the work load. [/quote]
