[QUOTE="DDD, post: 580270, member: 35"] With all due and caring respect I don't believe that you have the knowledge yet to even propose with confidence how J's needs can be appropriately met. Reading books and seeking out message boards is hugely important. on the other hand there are not agreed upon steps to help "adhd" kids with varying behaviors, needs, IQ's, personal histories etc. Each child has unique manifesations of this unusual issue. For example the three children I raised all had problems in school but each had different problems. The eldest just couldn't settle down and medications made it possible for her to conform...but she also needed specialized private educators to help her over the learning hump. My now 25 year old had a very high iq and was in gifted classes. on the other hand he got out of school suspension at five for putting a tomato on his head during lunch. He also did much better with medication and advanced classes. The youngest needed to be outsourced for a few hours a day to a special education class as he had adhd plus two other issues. He also required multiple medications. All three of the children were cared for by a psychiatrist and all had therapy as well. The youngest is the only one who ever displayed physical violence and that was "for cause" and limited to two incidences. Neuro/psychological evaluations were not available for the oldest in the 60's. Both boys, however, did have the advantage of those full evaluations and that provided deeper understanding of their needs and led to interventions that were of great help. In my experience there are rarely simple ways to adjust life and fix the big problems. It takes time and more time. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
