Parents, just make sure the school is doing everything they should for your child's ADHD. There are many accommodations that can be put in a 504 Plan to address ADHD and executive functioning skills, and both accommodations and goals for ADHD can be made part of an IEP. You should be able to find recommendations for both on Lisa's website. Also, make sure whatever is being used at school is compatible with any outside service you use, so that your child does not have to learn and remember two different sets of strategies. Having said that, you may find that an private service is superior to the school's proposal and implementation of accommodations and/or goals, in which case you could choose to work solely with an outside provider.
