Obviously, this will not be an acceptable set-up for all kids and parents. However, if your child is vulnerable to cyberbullying, fearful of unwanted correspondence, or susceptible to bad decisions, it may be agreeable to both of you to have protective parental eyes on any messages that move through. Set up Facebook and other social-networking tools to send alerts to this address, and you can also keep an eye on goings-on there. Talk with your child about what you want to do and why. If this is the only condition in which you will allow e-mail, discuss that.

‘Type on PDF’ for Completing Worksheets and Taking Tests on an iPad

Using pen or pencil on paper will never work well for them. Many of these learners do much better when they have opportunity to use a keyboard and word processor. Unfortunately, access to computers is limited in many classrooms. Another difficulty is that individuals who struggle with learning challenges often feel that using a computer, when classmates are not doing so, draws attention to their “problem”. I have met too many learners who would rather “fail” than draw added attention to their plight. The good news is that some learners who are reluctant to use a laptop or desktop computer are willing to “write” with a less conspicuous handheld device such as an iPad.

College and ADHD - College Help for ADHD Students

I was allowed some accommodations to help with my ADHD in high school. Are any ADHD accommodations available to me in college? Answer: Making the transition from high school to college can sometimes be difficult for those with ADHD. In elementary, middle and high school, the school system is required to identify students in need and provide appropriate educational services and accommodations.

The first step in getting resources in place is to contact your school’s Office of Disability Support Services, the service center that provides support, advocates and coordinates learning accommodations on campus to meet the needs of students with a variety of disabilities, including ADHD. Below is a listing of some of the accommodations and learning support services you may be eligible for in college: Teens with ADHD: College Survival Guide.
