Thank you all for your kind words. I think this statement, in particular, made a big impact on DD's teacher. She read it over and over again and got tears in her eyes. She said that she feels like she is failing her somehow by not helping her 'find her handle'. It nothing else, it further motivated an already motivated teacher to step up her game. She had some great suggestions for further ADHD accomodations and suggested letting DD use the computer more often in the classroom (writing is a huge struggle). The school principal is happy to help out with verbal pre-assessments of new subject matter. This will make a huge difference for DD, as her words are her strength. Knowing that the school is on her side and wants her to succeed is so important to us. Maybe they are learning as they go, but at least they are going somewhere!
