Laura thank you for this article. I have ADHD and mild Asperger’s and struugle lol and have a son who is a sophomore with ADHD who does not want to take medication. And of course dealing with a school system that thinks all you have to do with him is run him which ok….let him run every 15 minutes….now what’s their bright idea lol!! Could you possibly give me a resource reference for approaching them on this particular issue? I met with his IEP advisor yesterday and I swear the vibe I got was..
Anyway, I want to be able to do all I can to help him prepare for tests and do well. Oh and side note his advisor is observing him in a class with one other student…I know when he is in the class with more students…it’s a different story. I think it’s a good time to call a meeting with other teachers as well and ask them to fill out the Vanderbilt before we get to parent teacher conferences. I already know I’m the off odd one out in this equation but I’m the only one who will fight for him..
And then gets given detention or told in front of all their classmates ‘you just don’t care’
Thank you for keeping it real
The teachers not picking up who is not coping, instead of thinking percentages for a target, think child who isnt coping and and listen to their parents
As a middle school educator, I'd say that filling worksheets can be painful for all students, but admittedly more so for those of us with adhd.
