@Momball11 posted:My son has ADHD (inattentive presentation), but I never medicated him. He graduated high school with a 3.83 if I recall. Key thing was to make sure he's in the right level classes and advocate for him when needed. Copy of the notes and a central location of assignment due dates and quiz/test dates is a definite must for him. We also did a lot of small things at home; which are universal to help anyone regardless of ADHD or not. List making, asking him to repeat what was said, gave him shortened broken up tasks, kept him on a routine, audio version of books for reading assignments, music without words and dimmed lights when he was trying to study to block out other distractions; stretching/yoga breaks. Those are things that come to mind.
If he is good with small groups make sure that stays on his accommodations sheet. There are accommodations that he can get for the SAT/ACT when he's at that point, but he has to have them in his 504 accommodations.
Thank you. He does have a 504 with details about what accommodations he needs. Your suggestions are great. His mother puts a lot of time and effort into helping his organization skills and I’m sure I can also help provide more structure as well.
