Karen K Lowry, MSN ADHD Coaching and IEP Consultant

Let's talk about ADHD and how it impacts the success of your child.

Do some of the following relate to how you feel?

  • Overwhelmed in an IEP meeting as many in the team explain what your child needs?
  • Frustrated as you try to understand each section of the IEP
  • Unsure if the services are meeting the IEP goals?
  • Not feeling that there is enough communication between school and home?
  • Sometimes behaviors get in the way of success in our kids with ADHD. Does your child need a behavior plan, how would this be evaluated.
  • If your child has a behavior plan, are you sure that it is effective?
  • Many times, kids with ADHD have co-existing learning disabilities. Do you know how to ensure the process of discovering more data around a learning difference?
  • Have you requested services from the school only to be told, "we don't do that here," 'Let's give it time."
  • Are you doing homework for your child so that he/she doesn't spend hours or because he/she doesn't understand how to proceed or can't because of impulsivity or inattention?

ADHD is a very complicated medical disorder that effects each child differently. I'm sure you have seem so many times when your child has been misunderstood. Behaviors can be complicated and many believe that what they see is being done on purpose by the child.

Along with outward behaviors like impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattentiveness are executive functioning deficits like time management, organization, processing language, transitioning, and working memory. Results of these are seen but many times in school it is thought to be the result of purposeful behavior. In addition many times all of these behaviors worsen as a result of a learning deficit!

Are you aware that about 50% of our kids with ADHD have some type of a learning disorder?
