[QUOTE="dadside, post: 322055, member: 5707"] As gcvmom said, we're sorry you have the need but have found a great place for support and information. Forget boot camps, military academies, or any school away from home. Based on my experience with my son, I'd bet that there is more than just ADHD. Even if ADHD is the root, at this point he may have "simply" disinterested in school and school work due to past poor performance. He may be depressed, but it would take a competent professional to diagnose that. I suggest he needs to see and feel real academic successes, and build his self-esteem. One way for that would be one-to-one instruction [I]in school[/I], at least for a time. To get that almost certainly would require "classification" under IDEA and then persuading the IEP committee to make such arrangements. That process can take 60 - 90 days (except in Florida, where it could run 90 [I]school[/I] days, or some 5 months), but some schools will make changes before the process is complete. [/QUOTE]
