I'm trying to come up with a diplomatic way of saying "she needs subject acceleration or she'll get bored quicker and disrupt the class more often."
All that is true about 504s - but I would ask anyway.
Here's my try at a more polite version of 'get bored quicker' -
Kids with ADHD are known to need more immediate rewards for their efforts. With subject acceleration our daughter will be in an environment where the natural reward of learning new and interesting material will be there to provide her with the increased internal emotional rewards from learning.
It need to be shorter, but maybe that will help spur a better idea.
How about -
ADHD kids are known to have wonderful focus - hyperfocus - when the material is really interesting to them. Please help my child suceed at school by allowing her subject acceleration so that she has a better chance of that full minded engagement that ADHD kids love.
Note - I would never refer to a child with ADHD as an 'ADHD kid' except in a very few instances - it so rude! But in this case you are signaling to the school 'take pity on us -I will talk your language - please give my dd subject acceleration.'
Love and More Love,
Grinity
