My son has got a date for him to be referred to a referral unit

U are so lucky huh! After a fun break and good news followed soon after.. haha =D Hopefully your son really fit in well in the new school, and maybe with kids of the same level of activeness, he might be tamed by them? haha No matter what, it's gonna be much better than the old school because transport is provided as well! IS it free too?? haha

That sounds like just what your son needs. I can only wish that there was a program like that around here for children that are really struggling with school because of the combination in ADHD and other learning disabilities as well. It wouldn't benefit our family directly, but the little boy up the street from us would really benefit from something like this as well. I feel so terrible for him because he isn't able to get anything out of school.

hiya jugs. i wonder how you learn about your son's ADHD. have you consulted a specialist or at what age he was evaluated for ADHD? i have been reading a lot about ADHD as i, personally, suspects our youngest son Zayzay has. but i checked with one clinic here and learned from the secretary that consultation alone is expensive.

This is wonderful news. I hope it lives up to all your expectations. I also hope your son will be happy there, this has got to have been a continuing frustration for him. Blessings

Really? That's wonderful. At least he has got teachers who are more experienced to take good care of him. On top of that, transport is provided as well, saving u the hassle of needing to bring him to and fro from school. That's a good gesture from the new school. Your son should settle well in the new school based on the things they have done your u and your son.

That is really good news and it is about time as well.I hope that they can really help him.I have a friend who has a son with adhd and i do know how hard it is and i do know that it can really be very tiring on the parents that have children with this.I am pleased that you and your son have not much longer to wait and it is great that they are giving your son transport to and from the school.

That's great news! At least they are finally doing something for your son after so long. I know so many children with ADHD who will go for years without anything and the parents wonder why their children have such a difficult time in school.

Thanks for keeping us posted and up to date. That may end up making a real difference in your life and for him as well.

That is wonderful news Jugs, once my nephew was sent to a school that specialised in his needs he started excelling in areas he was good at because he had the correct understanding and encouragement, whereas his original school, just saw him as a problem. He is a fantastic drummer and loves all sports now too. Wishing you son good luck in his new school. huggles. Ellie :D

That is great! I know how hard it is to deal with ADHD when you are in school. Unfortunately, in my case, I didn't find out that was what my problem was until I was 36 and almost flunking out of college. Once they got me note takers and extra time on tests, I was able to pass the last four HARD classes that I needed to graduate. If I had known when I was in school about these kinds of problems, I could have been a retired nurse by now instead of being on disability with no real job skills. I hope he does well in this new setting. Don't ever give up hope. Some people deal with this all their lives and don't even know what the problem is so he is really lucky! Have a great week!

you go girl. you did it. great. what a good mom you are.

Good for you! This is a relief from your worries for the present. Best wishes to the bright future of your son.

Finally!! That is wonderful, because they will give him the extra he needs to catch up, because I am sure the little one has been a bit overwhelmed. Hooray for the referral unit for finally catching up with paperwork. LOL Because in reality those types of delays are due to them not completing the paperwork causing such as your son to be further delayed.

That is cool that he is going to a school that will help him with his work.That is cool that they furnish transportation. That makes it a lot easier. Congratulations and have a good week!

That is awesome, I hope your son catches and is able to exceed beyond the expectations too.. I love with when people diagnosed with things prove their doctors wrong! :) .. there is also special computer games you can order that help increase focus too ..

very veru good

This is a terrifyc oportunity for him, I hope that he takes all from this new experience, congratulations

That is great. My son has ADD and this sounds like a great school. What all do they do?

LOL. When I see your title, I would have thought different way if I don't read the rest (to a referral unit) and your message. Good luck and many success come to your son.

You are very lucky to have such school at your place. I believe after attending the classes at that particular school, your son will be very much better in his study. From my understanding, some children have good potential in doing their study well. But they didn't do their study well because they were neglected their study. If they are really concentrate in their study with some guidance, I am sure they still can catch up and score well in their examinations. Wish him all the best.
