[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 569962, member: 1550"] Malika, I had serious LDs and J may too. I never took medication. One-on-one was the best thing anyone could ever do for me. It could bring me from a failing grade to an A or B. I also lacked the ability to concentrate so that one-on-one also helped me focus. There was more give and take in that setting than when a teacher was droning to the class. That used to make me tired and start me day dreaming. medications are supposed to be for attention. I tried them. They did not work for me. They made me more hyper. They do help some kids, not all. Rarely do they solve every problem and the problems you now have will likely remain. Do you know ANYTHING about the birthfamily? Could be he inherited some Learning Disability (LD) problems or maybe mom drank, which can cause problems, or maybe she just plain did not get good nutrition or prenatal care. in my opinion if the one-on-one helps, be happy you found an intervention that works and go with it. I would stop looking for a total solution...a fix. There is no 100% fix. There is no way to tell how he will do as the years go by, but I can tell you that you are in for some surprises. Can't tell you if they are good or bad, but he is going to change. They all do :) [/QUOTE]
