7 Reasons Why You Need to Advocate More Than Other Parents
Share
Here are the reasons why you need to advocate more than other parents:
1. Succeeding at school is therapy for a child with ADHD
2. Children with ADHD have maturity delays of up to 3 years
3. Half of children with ADHD also have a learning disability
4. Executive function deficits can be more debilitating than ADHD symptoms
5. Your child’s teacher may not see her IEP or 504 for months
6. Last year’s teacher won’t necessarily talk to this year’s teacher
7. The emotional underpinnings of ADHD can throw everything off track
Know that you are not enabling or helicoptering. You are taking an active, hands-on role in the education of your child with ADHD.
