[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 237521, member: 6271"] Artana, My son was doing well in school. He also tested well...over 90%..to 142 in IQ. It wasn't until a caring principle redid the testing and assessed that he DID ualify for IEP and the area he needed the help was writing. Essentially the learning challenge that adhd presents is minimized especiallly in boys as the kenetic nature of boys is "normal". Being adhd is not a type of condition that will limit a child to learn...so a school can slide on doing the things that will serve the adhd child to learn those things specificly hendering them from their potential. It is not about wether or not they are "in normal ranges" it is everything to do with is this what that child needs to do their best. And this is the struggle I as a parent have faced. it is not helpful for a child who does learn well to be both labeled and neglected. It has the effect of giving teachers an excuse to admire "the problem" and not to do what this learner, a tiny % of the students they will teach in their careers, specifically and uniquicly requires to be taught appropriately for their best life. In effect the adhd child who learns fast is both diagnosis'd and then told they do not need IEP services, or that they do not 'have' iep services for him. Instead the teacher focal issue is behavior for her convience in classrooms. and this piece is important. It is just not the big picture and the sooner the fast learner has the supports in whatever area to stay enriched and moving at their pace the happier the learning time will be. On the social side, behavior, and adhd learner may need social support as the impulsivity may interfer with awareness of how the impact others. For self esteem the fact that as with any differance an adhd will 'have issues' with peers. Self acceptance is important. At home having a structure for doing things that breaks up sitting and consintration and moving around will also help set a pattern for doing work as time goes by. running and learning are the BEST combination for adhd. A stationary bike and the phonics might work too. Read to your children until your can not go on another second. REad anything...read regularly and at differant times of the day. Read to them for hours after they are reading for themselves. As my son began to read he did not want me to know as he did not want me to stop reading to him. His perfered reward for his point chart was to be able to have me read to him when and where he liked. [/QUOTE]
