  2. I’m not fond of any of the suggestions that include using another student as a resource. I was that other student as a child and strongly resented the teacher for using me to do their job. As a result I found it more difficult to make friends because all the kids called me teachers pet. It left me somewhere between teacher and student and that’s not a fair place for a kid to be. I encourage you to rethink this advice and consider the impact it has on the kids used as helpers. I will never suggest that my ADHD daughter use another student as an accommodation.

    1. That happened to my daughter too. Maybe some kids enjoy helping the teacher engage other students, but I know my daughter resented it. Also the kids were not nice to her and even other teachers would get upset if my daughter would fail to help the other student.
      Now she doesn’t help anyone at all. She focuses on her projects and stays away from others. Definitely scarred her.
