[QUOTE="compassion, post: 235062, member: 6393"] My son has focus isssues and is also gifted. He is 18 and a somphmore in college and I do a lot of acadmic coaching with him. He had an evaluation at Belin-Blank at Univrsity of Iowa in October. This is for 2E (gifted with learning differences). The things that help are chunking the work in about 20 minutes segments. The gaming stuff: in my experince it helps him focus. he is all over the place. He does not hear stuff in class. I am dealing with the suggetion that he get notes, have a notetaker but deos not want to be "different". Luckily, in collge classes most have syllabus nline. I help orgainze him DAILY. Just today het hough someting was due Tueday when it is due in weeks. He has LDs such as dysgraphia and very clow prcessign speeds. As he is verbally gifted, it could be perceived as laziness. It is not. I focus on strenths. The natural consequences stuff can result in very low self esteem and failure. I choose to encouage and help. He does nto like to work with anyone but me. We homeschooled so I could accomadate a lot more. He is now taking classes at college. Last semester they were online. Compassion [/QUOTE]
