Hi ,

Try this website: www.ADDTreatmentCenters.org We tried this with our

" typical " daughter and they found ADD, she couldn't focus and concentrate in

class. It worked for her, but it's expensive and it takes about a year to

complete.

Good luck,

Argie

I went to nursing school when my children were 2,4 and 6 as a single

parent. What helped me is making out a time schedule for the entire

day and trying very hard to stick to it. It went something like

this. Up at 5:00 and study until 7 a.m. Children up and ready for

school etc and get self ready for the day. Drop children off at

school/daycare. Go to class. I planned to have study times in

between classes as I could not study when my children we up during

the day. When I got home it was kid time until they went to be. I

sometimes tried to do more work after they went to bed but mostly not

because I was too tired. If you are only taking one class it is

harder but it can be done. Hope this helps

If you focus on resentment, you'll create many more things to resent.

When you focus on gratitude, you'll bring many more things into your life for which to be thankful.

Focus on anger, and you'll continue finding additional reasons to be angry.

Focus on love, and the opportunities for experiencing love will greatly multiply.

Focus on life's best possibilities, and you'll move steadily in the direction of your dreams.

Focus on the things you truly value, and they grow even more valuable.

Focus on what you are able to give, and you'll greatly expand what you are able to have.

Focus your energy, your attention, your interest and your passion on some particular thing, and you can make the impossible happen.

Where is your focus most consistently directed?

That is where your life is most certainly headed.

By choosing your focus, you choose your lifestyle, the world around you, and your future.

Focus on what is truly good and right and valuable for you, and you will be gloriously immersed in that goodness.

Have a blessed day and week.

Have they mentioned how long your son can focus at a time without redirection? I

have using a vibrating timer with my son with great success. For example, right

now I set it at 4 min interval (it was 2 min at first). When the time vibrate, I

or the aide if he is at school, would check on my son. If he is doing well, a

praise is given on being able to focus, I personally give him a star on a small

paper on top of his desk. If he is not on task, then a reminder is given. Timer

restart again, regardless. The more star he sees, the motivated he is in doing

his work. Eventually the time would be increased, until he is able to focus on

his own.

> Yesterday we had our IEP Team meeting for my son, who is going into first

grade. We met with his teacher, OT, speech, adjustment counselor, SPED

coordinator for the district, the principal and a first grade teacher from his

new school. Everyone was very nice and had good things to say about the progress

he's made, his enthusiasm, his general attitude, his academic performance, etc.

The one issue everyone came back to was his inability to focus, and their

concern that this is slowing down his academic progress. Right now he's in the

middle of the pack, so to speak, but their concern is that he is too easily

distracted to concentrate and may fall behind in first and second grade. We want

him mainstreamed, so he's going into a regular Gr. 1 classroom next year, with

paraprofessional support during the English and math.

tthe focus issue. Some days he is just " on " and so present... other days it's

like he's asleep with his eyes open and it doesn't matter what you do or say,

he's just not there. Any suggestions for how to improve this?

Does he have a sensory diet built into his day? Also you may want to look into a strategy called "Brain Gym". It may help. Pam :) ADD/ ADHD and Brain Gym by Jon Pederson Recession-proof vacation ideas. Find free things to do in the U.S.
