Jess, if you have a written diagnosis for ADD please talk with your parents and/or a counselor about the 504 Plan. It's a federal plan that helps people with learning/physical diabilities get the assistance they need to do well in school. If a child has hearing or vision problems, the school must get the equipment to help them hear or see better. If a child has an LD then they can get extra time to do the work.

I'm lucky. Our son's teacher first mentioned the 504. Our therapist is sending a written dx and we have a Child Study Meeting on April 19 for Mac. The vice principal, the school psychologist, his teacher, and I will be there. If it's determined he qualifies then Mac will get extra time to finish assignments.

I believe the 504 even protects adults in the workplace. I haven't had as much success finding info for myself. I just know I need to pad my time to finish my projects.
