10th board exams starting in 4 months. My child's ADHD makes: sitting for 3 hours = impossible, reading dense material = torture, time management = nonexistent, test anxiety = paralysis.

Standard exam structure is designed for a different brain.

How are you preparing your teen for boards with ADHD? Are they getting accommodations? How do you actually make exams work?

We gave our teen a real vote in every decision about their own support. Buy-in changed everything.
