Hi there, first time poster here.
I'm worried about my daughter who is going into year 11. She has a diagnosis of ADHD since January. She has been medicated since then and has gradually uptitrated dose to the max. As per doctors advice. It has made some difference but not huge. She's definitely more able to focus with than without the meds.
I'm worried that it's not the entire story. She has always had difficulty focussing, concentrating and being organised. Her year 7 sats were very high (130-140 range) but she's just not able to get started or consistently study. Her grades have always been completely all over the place. From very high to very low in the same subjects often in the same set of exams with no clear rhyme or reason as to why.
She's getting very demoralised and demotivated. I wonder if we're missing something. Getting her to think about any study for GCSE's is extremely difficult. She doesn't see the point and her mocks were a disaster.
Anyone have any experience of Ed psych assessment at this age?
In context of adhd she is allowed to sit exams in a separate room and have breaks. No extra time allowed as her "processing" was assessed as low normal range.
Am at a loss as to how to help and feel like endlessly pushing her to study is just making her miserable.
Help!!!
