The ADHD Student and Homework Problems

The diagnosis explained the attention. It never explained homework.

Medication can steady the brain chemistry that runs low. It cannot fill in the learning your child missed while nobody knew what was wrong, and it cannot correct a second problem sitting underneath the ADHD label. Roughly half of students with ADHD have another learning disorder as well, and most of those are never named.

That is why the homework table is still a battle after the diagnosis, after the medication, after everything you were told would fix it.

What this book gives you:

• The red flags for the problems that hide under an ADHD diagnosis, including executive function, working memory, dysgraphia, language processing, reading and time management
• What each one looks like at the homework table, which is where they show up first
• Strategies you can try tonight, before any evaluation
• When to ask the school for testing, and how to ask so they hear you
• How to tell the difference between a child who will not and a child who cannot

Written by Patricia McGuire, MD, FAAP, a developmental-behavioral pediatrician with 30 years spent with these students and their families.

Homework time is where these problems are most visible. That makes it the best place to catch them, while there is still plenty of school left.
