 I homeschool three kids.  One is ADD and is approx 2 years behind the other
 is ADHD and is not.  The third is pretty smart.  With mind that is behind
 it is fairly easy.  I just give him more time to finish.  The other child
 may need a little more attention getters because his mind wanders.  And
 the third just moves along at a little faster pace which gives her more
 time to quiety do whatever while she waits.
