[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I looked at your schedule and my first thought is that you are allowing too much time. I know that sounds counter-intuitive. My DS with ADHD functions best with 25 minutes from getting out of bed to getting out the door. As you pointed out, the waking up requires a little extra time. We allot an additional 10-15 minutes for waking up. Everything is done on the first floor within eyesight of me and DH. His clothes for the day are on the couch. His toothbrush, etc., is in the first floor bathroom. We have no tv on, no screens, no radio. And, minimal talking. Our schedules are staggered in the morning so we have more ability to focus on him. He does one step and gets nudged to the next step in rapid succession. He can converse with us along as he's making forward progress while doing it. He's 11 and is medicated. The meds don't kick in that quickly.[/quote]
