[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 559160, member: 1550"] Does your son have problems with memory too? My daughter could not read at age eight so she was transferred to Learning Disability (LD) class for reading and math, which was quieter and she got more help. Also helped her focus. When she was dismissed from Learning Disability (LD), she was put on a 504. She does not have trouble sitting still, but she does need extra time for tests at times and can go to the library if she needs it to be quiet. She works a lot with the people who stay before/after school to help kids with their work. If she doesn't understand something, she finds it helpful to work one on one with an educator. These interventions are way, way less than when she had her IEP and ADD/Learning Disability (LD) diagnosis. She actually has learned to practically deal with her problem on her own. She is getting B's and C's in school now. I think it's important to teach our kids how to compensate with their disabilities beyond just taking medication. To burn off her mental energy, daughter is VERY involved in both sports and other school activities, such as student council and year book. She has a lot of trouble doing nothing and needs to be busy in order to be happy. [/QUOTE]
