Where can I find help for my friend who is trying (1st year) to home school her 13 y/o grandson who is ADHD and delayed learning? She is at her wits end. She needs to know how much she should try to teach him and what the limits should be. Should he have testing done? Where should she look for that? He becomes very upset if he does not get answers correct but has trouble grasping concepts. Please, anybody….give some advice. Thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply Sci…do you home school? It sounds like you have been through this. I would like to connect my friend with someone who knows what she is going through at his age. Is there a chat or forum for this age group for home schooling that you know of?

There are many, many homeschooling sites. Some have forums, chat rooms, etc. Just do a search for Homeschool or Unschool Education.
I would highly recommend testing either through the school district or a private neuropsychologist. Its hard to plan an appropriate program if you don’t know where to start or what is going on.
