[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally would forget about trying to find an option with accelerated learning right now. You say he's very bright and needs to be challenged, but he can catch up on that stuff in middle school or later. For now, I would focus exclusively on emotional regulation issues and keeping his self-esteem intact. Mental health, to me, always has to come first.[/quote] Disagree. For someone with ADHD, not being challenged can lead to depression, withdrawal and makes it harder to emotionally self-regulate. Also, bright peer group is important - nothing is worse for an ADHD kid to have to hang out all day with students and engage in boring social norms. Being intellectually challenged is part of mental health for those with ADHD.[/quote] DP. This is true but unfortunately if you have a kid melting down, not possible [/quote]
