[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 86503, member: 23"] It sometimes happens that an effective ADHD medication cant be found for a student but if efforts havent been exhausted and youre not adverse to medicating, it would likely be a good avenue to pursue. In an instance such as this, its difficult for a child to learn without the ADHD and anxiety symptoms being controlled, but not impossible. It just takes a lot more time and effort by parents and educators to get the job done. Learning Disability (LD)-not otherwise specified doesnt given one an idea if this diagnosis is a result of language Learning Disability (LD), math Learning Disability (LD), processing Learning Disability (LD), etc., or a combination thereof. What are the underlying problems that resulted in the Learning Disability (LD)-not otherwise specified diagnosis? Is the IEP addressing remediation of the Learning Disability (LD)(s)? Unless your child is unique, I think requiring homework to be completed at 11:00 pm at night may be counterproductive. The mental exertion required of our kids at school exceeds that of the typical student. They are often mentally fatigued when they get out of school. If they arrive at school already fatigued from lack sleep, it can compound the problem, e.g., they wouldnt absorb as much as possible during the school day as when fresh. Id find out how much time difficult child should be spending on homework at night, and after that amount of time had passed, let it go. If your difficult child needs a smaller class say in Language Arts to learn, that what the IEP should call for. I fought the homework battle for years. It accomplished nothing but to make a bad situation worse. Its not that I dont think its important it just has to be put in the proper perspective for our child. If his medication has worn off, theres just no way to make him sustain attention. If hes fatigued, it is what it is. If hes not up to it, hes not. [/QUOTE]
