Non-traditional HS options for ADHD 8th grader

[Hometeacher628]

So I thought I'd add my 2 bits here. Both of my daughters have been diagnosed with ADD. When my oldest was in 6th grade she took a few classes at the jr high (algebra and orchestra) and by October parent teacher conferences, was written up by a team of teachers for a 504 program. "She didn't take good notes and had terrible handwriting", so was claimed. The 504 exemption allowed for the girl with beautiful frilly handwriting in the class to take her notes on 3copy NCR paper, and one set of her notes went home with my daughter. Naturally, I still required my DD to take the notes, and we would compare them later that night. This DD is the girl I taught to read, while she was hanging upside down on the couch when she was three. She has always been a spinning tornado through her life. As a parent, I've just been the bumpers! Homeschooling has been a Godsend for our family, in so many ways. It is perfect for ADD kids, well, it's perfect for our kids. Look at my signature, she has made progress. She will be fine in life, but she may find she needs an occasional secretary!
