[QUOTE="SRL, post: 254026, member: 701"] Dr. Riley, I have a question about ADHD and school success. A lot has changed in elementary schools since I was a kid. I know that the straight row, be silent, sit still in your desk and do your worksheet atmosphere wasn't ideal for kids with ADHD. But I'm wondering if recent educational trends aren't creating another set of problems. I'm volunteering in a class for reading and between the emphasis on individualization and full inclusion, I'm finding the atmosphere extremely distracting. I'm working with the low reading group (read aloud and discussion) in the commons area while at 2 other reading groups are working along with a small math group being taught by an aide. It's too much for me and I don't even have attention issues. You can imagine what it's like for the group I work with. This kind of individualization is really big right now and in fact, there are ten (!) reading levels/groups in my daughter's grade. What impact can this have on a child in the classroom with ADHD and how can parents help assure that their child succeed? Thanks, SRL [/QUOTE]
