]]> Comment on Kids with ADHD need to fidget, study says by MaryAnn http://www.ldresources.org/2009/06/15/kids-with-adhd-need-to-fidget-study-says/comment-page-1/#comment-305726 MaryAnn Mon, 22 Jun 2009 02:30:04 +0000 http://www.ldresources.org/?p=1705#comment-305726 My 7 year old grandson has had a variety of learning difficulties relating to his ADHD including reading, handwriting, coordination and some emotional issues. Its been a frustrating time for both himself and his mum. We recently started a specialised movement and exercise program that helps with different aspects of cognitive function, visualization, memory, concentation and learning and have found it to be extremely helpful. We downloaded from the Better Learning Institute. My daughter doesn't have a lot of time to help her son with tutoring (she's a single mum of two), but because the program is movement and exercised based, he was motivated to do it himself. We just downloaded the program to her computer directly from the site and started it that night. His reading and writing has improved remarkably over the last couple of months, along with his attitude and many other aspects of his development. It may not suit every child, but we found it to be very helpful for us. He's now a confident writer and has discovered a new sense of pride in himself. check out www.betterlearninginstitute.com Good luck!

This thread is for the CT. Eagle Hill school, which is a K-8 school, not high school. It’s a completely different school than the one in Hardwick (MA).

I wish one of the schools would change the name. It can be confusing.

Once you get all the various ways you do things worked out it would seem to me that this will work to your advantage. That may take some time so be patient and attempt to do things in the most comfortable way for yourself so as not to force either right or left handedness.
