I need help choosing carry on luggage
PinkyandtheBrains. replied to stephanier.1765's topic in The Chat Board
If you are on Facebook, check out Travel Fashion Girl or Girls Love Travel. Both have blogs as well. They usually have up to date suggestions. If not the groups will be helpful. We love packing cubes for space saving and organization. -
It could be that you are still settling into the right dose. That can take time. Your doctor may have started small and inching up until you get right fit. Each individual metabolizes the medication differently. All my adhd’ers take a long acting, and have short acting as needed when the long acting wears off. Most of our changes in dosing occurred after significant growth changes. It’s more effective if I am providing sufficient scaffolding and skill building. It’s a long game but after years the progress is visible. Mine are older teens now.

chromebook or laptop for college

I would get a standard laptop, not a chromebook for college. Chromebooks are great for other uses. -
Advice Needed - ADHD/EF and the college kid
PinkyandtheBrains. replied to whitestavern's topic in The College Board
Many colleges have excellent services for students with special needs including adhd. They usually want verification of the disability, and the student has to request any helpful accommodations. My adhd family members medicate and we worked on EF skills over the years. We tend to stick to scientifically backed solutions. Medication + working on the necessary skills. The meds help them learn the skills and form the necessary habits so they can carry through hopefully without meds. In our case, over time we’ve seen positive results. Medication had an almost immediate effect, my kids on meds were really happy with the increased ability to focus on all things, even the fun stuff. -

This is our expectation. -
I had to have an updated MMR for college in the 90’s. That was my last update.

How do you choose a child’s therapist?
PinkyandtheBrains. replied to sangtarah's topic in The Chat Board
We found a therapist via pediatrician referral. Asking in a a trusted group of local mom friends might help too. -
Dr. Hive, my tongue feels burned but it's not!

Can thrush cause that? -
I’m so sorry.
