My DS is a high school Junior and is now struggling to keep up with his GPA. He is a 2E with ADHD and Asperger. I see disparity between his regular school test score and other test score, for example, he can get almost perfect score in his SAT English reading and writing, but still gets B in his regular English tests. He could get a college level course and got A on it, while struggling to get even a B on the same course in his high school. I doubt this might have something to do with his working memory and his ADHD is apparently getting in the way. I'm thinking of medication for him but as a last resort. I'm also thinking of some tools to help him improve his brain function, such as apps from CogMed or Lumosity.
Are there anyone out there with similar experience? If so, would really appreciate if you can share your story.
Thanks!
