[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 78561, member: 23"] A lot of this does sound like ADHD symptoms to me, but not all. Some of it could be related to a learning disorder. It's common for ADHD kids to have a coexisting learning disorder. This sounds to be learning disorder related. My son has moderate ADHD. He is forgetful also, has trouble with multistep directions, time awareness problems, etc. He's pretty classic ADHD. His ADHD helps with-these symptoms, but it certainly doesn't control them 100%. Charts can sometimes help with routine tasks, eg., break tasks down one at a time with items such as brush teeth, make bed, place toys in toy box, clothes into hamper, etc. In other words, a "to do" list that can be checked off. Many ADHD kids will need to use this form of reminders throughout there lifetime. You might want to pull out your child's evaluation reports, review the scores and subtest scores to see if you can pick up on problem areas. If you need it, there is information in the Special Education forum that helps parents learn how to understand normed scores. I posted Memory Problems thread as general info in Sp Ed 101 this morning. It contains very basic information, but you might want to check it out. [/QUOTE]
