[quote=Anonymous]> language immersion is great, but not if your child has ADHD/language issues.

This is true for our daughter as well.  We just did not understand then why it was not working for her but it started making sense after her diagnosis.

She is a bright child but struggles with writing and reading comprehension.  Doing a reading response is always so hard for her.  She just tunes out whenever she has a in-class group discussion.  Novel study is just a pain when she has to write down her own responses as well as her classmates answers.  She couldn't do it.

A diagnosis with ADHD and 504/IEP will help.  But, it's important that the kid's teacher actually carries out the plan.  Medication helps too but we honestly don't know how much it helps.  Definitely it is not a day and night difference.

She is a preteen now but still wets her bed almost nightly.  Apparently there is a connection between ADHD and bed wetting.

Sometimes I just want to cry when she is a pain to deal with.   But I really should try to put myself in her shoes too.

Sorry to rant here.  OP, if you are still reading, please educate yourself and be prepared.[/quote]
