Lisa,
My son has ADHD and moderate dyslexia. Also, I think he has dysgraphia, but
that has not actually been diagnosed. We have seen improvement over the
past three years, but I am very persistent in that I want DORE to be the
ones to say you have completed the program or we can do no more.
We have the same problems with appointments. We have tried offering
rewards, all kinds and nothing seems to motivate him unless he wants to be
motivated for the appointment.

Good luck,

Tamme
