'For all the hard work we do at home to encourage, uplift, implement strategies for organization, and create ways to foster focus, it all shatters, like a sheet of glass, when my daughter with ADHD walks into school and is confronted with DIBELS.'
. Since my daughter has ADHD, learning disabilities, and a state test coming up, these meltdowns are common in our home. I come home from work, cook dinner, and prepare myself for the battle. Let me set the stage.Daughter sees the work, and starts yelling, “I can’t do all that,” “I don’t know what that says,” “I hate homework,” “I’m stupid.”Daughter throws herself from the chair, screams on the floor, and cries.
Why would this test cause my daughter to feel like she is not smart, can’t read, doesn’t know how to write, and to hate school? It is a timed test that some adults would find stressful. She has now read a story that has no plot and that she is unsure of what it says because she was too focused on trying to say each word correctly. The whole time she was reading, she was also trying to figure out what that thing in the teacher’s hand is. But all those things do not matter because now she must “retell” the story. My daughter does have a great memory, and she often retells me stories I read to her last week, but she has a problem retelling stories that she has read.
