Homeschooling ADHD children

Some of you may be struggling with teaching your child who is diagnosed "ADHD". The bottom line is, even though you may be ready to pull your hair out (there were times in the classroom I definitely was), they CAN learn and WILL learn, you just have to find what they respond to best. (That is true of most children anyway).
