Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Has anyone found something that works for ADD? The doctor says my daughter does not have this, but her teacher say that my daughter is " easily distracted " -- she is very social and loves her friends. Unfortunately, it has now gotten to the point where she is not finishing her work in class. She understands the instructions given, and for the most part, is capable of doing the work. However, she is too interested in her friends, and if she does get to a part that she doesn't know how to do -- she might just get totally " stuck " and not move on -- even though she can do the rest of the paper. Any suggestions -- programs, supplements, strategies? She does process a little slowly. She has done The Listening Program and Fast ForWord and I'm told is testing " normal " for auditory processing.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I would read (broken record) Feast without Yeast to check for allrgies, sensitivities and yeast. Is it ADD or AP. I was a similar kid and I suspect had both. Also, Dr. Bock's book is helpful. In my house we are all (I am doing it too) Listening Program Responders. In daughter and I it drums up, well, snot. I suspect that is yeast. Gunk stuck in your head can definitely distract you. In daughter we are still working on this. I suspect she is yeastier in the head than her brother due to ear tubes for him. > > Has anyone found something that works for ADD?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 If you want to chase the allergy thing I have a good doc for you. Email me offlist. I think I finally found the right DAN. It only took 9 months. Cheaper than Dr. F. Some insurance coverage and most importantly, very solid approach. > > > > Has anyone found something that works for ADD?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Have you read the 4 As book? My daughter is technically NT and does fabulous in school but I wonder about the staright sitting. I am accommodating that via homeschooling as I had the same issue but I still want to be sure I properly address any physical underpinning of this. Gluten, water and dairy removal changed her dramatically. > > > > Has anyone found something that works for ADD?
