DS1 has just turned 11, and has ADHD and dyslexia, so a triple whammy of immaturity, disorganisation and inattention. Plus hyperactivity and impulsivity of course .
We are meeting with the SENCO a week before he starts (next week- eek!), so will talk things over with her then, and expect there will be allowances made for him at school about forgetting equipment, poor presentation etc.
However, what practical things can we do at home to make things as easy on him and us as possible?
We already supervise him packing school bag the night before. He has a desk where all school- related things go and where he sits to do homework (which is a huge struggle for both of us).
So, any other ideas, relating to any aspects of school/teenage life?
Thank you in advance
