She did try a couple different ones. She got very depressed and withdrawn on them. She said it made it harder to concentrate as well. So far we have figured out a cup of tea before math and a cup of coffee before everything else gives her a good kickstart. I know it sounds weird. Maybe it's all in our head. I just know when she's got that shock of caffeine initially in the morning she stays pretty well on task, but she can't do coffee and math together. With nothing she takes FOREVER on the smallest tasks. You can watch her mind leave planet earth. We just moved (houses not schools) last year and my husband fell ill immediately after for nearly the entire year, so we are still working on getting rid of stuff...decluttering. She likes to try and keep the most random stuff ever so her room is a nightmare. We have 4 kiddos, so quiet time is not necessarily easy to come by except in her room. I am currently trying to help her create a calm space for herself that is not distracting. It's been a journey for sure.

@Storygirl Am going to try to answer all of your questions. Let me know if I miss any. - She does not seem to have issues wi te h fine motor. Plays piano and picked it up fairly quickly. - She does do better with books. She is like me in this way. I do not learn very well from a screen. Multiple studies have shown that the brain (anyones brain) doesn't absorb the information as well. - I am following the requirements of the high schools around here. (Kentucky is a pretty homeschool-friendly state) but I do plan to be flexible with it. - Her schooling has jumped a lot. We were military and then her father and I divorced. We moved around a lot. The public schools up north were a nightmare to deal with. Then public here for 2 years. It wasn't horrible, but moving around so much made her extremely shy. 5-8 was private school. They didn't have a lot of resources for kids with learning differences. The nightmare of a pediatrician she had before was like oh ADD...here are meds....umm no. @PeterPan I did go with her to both Timberdoodle AND Oak Meadow. Together we built her curriculum for next year. Almost everything was timberdoodle except her PE requirement. We are going to find a book list to play with for a book a month reading together. She will have one period where we can devote time to "delight directed" type stuff. She is fascinated with psychology, so she wants to start with that. She also wants to structure her week to be like her old school where it was blocks, so A day classes and B day classes. Our public library also has a lot of stuff for homeschoolers...they even host a prom that the kids plan. Have a nutrition class once per month and a teen club and Lego club. It's a pretty awesome library. We are lucky. Thank you both for your amazing help and input. I have been so lost on this journey. I just really needed someone to point me towards a good starting point.

Let me tell you right now that you are my hero of the year. She did have full psych evals. Her accommodations were more time and out of the classroom for tests. When she was timed, she was way below average in most subjects, but when untimed she was above average or average (except math which was right below the average mark) I used Mavis Beacon when I was still using an old Mac back in the 90's. I forgot all about that. Thank you for reminding me! She can definitely spell...she is a word nazi. Where is the post about the metronome work? Sorry am still learning this forum as I just found it a few hours ago.

And sorry what are MUS and TT?

I am honestly open to anything. She wanted to try the T4L for the 4 basics. I personally don't like their reading choices because she's already done a few of them. She is 15 and about to go into her sophomore year I guess it would be. She is completely disorganized, but gets it honest and is pretty introverted except with established friendships. She HATES typing and really hates math. She loves to write, but can never finish things with that. This year has kind of been a grin and get through it year. I don't want that to be her experience for the rest of her years. This was more of a panic and homeschool situation (which she's honestly done better with than traditional) No other disabilities and I usually give her her assignments in the morning. She goes to my parents two days a week for math. I think I covered it all. I will definitely check out the things you said. Sorry for a repeat topic.

Hi. My oldest daughter attended a private high school last year. She was tested for a learning difference at the beginning of the year. I don't know if anyone is familiar with SCT, but the short version is that she gets the information, just at a slower pace. She can't do timed tests, she struggles with even moving quickly so sports was never her thing. She is in high school and we have been struggling a bit with trying to figure out curriculum. We just started homeschooling this year for her in order to make up the classes she failed last year. She seems massively unmotivated about what her plans are once she is done with school...heck even what her interests are now...and this is why I am struggling. There is so much contradicting information about what she has to have or doesn't. I guess I am just a little lost and looking for a little guidance. She is nearly caught up to where she needs to be, but I am trying to figure out where to go from here. We went with a homeschool that one of her friends did and that was okay for the purpose of catching her up to speed, but we don't particularly like it. She was looking at the Time4Learning site and that seemed okay, but I am just feeling a little overwhelmed with all of the information on homeschooling...and it seems like most of it has been geared towards younger kiddos. Any advice would be appreciated.
