Hello Mark,
 MM> Addressing this to anyone in a similar situation: my daughter

 MM> Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy (ataxic) and is
 MM> ADHD, as a result of drinking and drug abuse by her
 MM> birthmother along with little/no prenatal care. She's done
 MM> pretty well in school until the last year or two (she

 MM> checked out medically (She contracted mono last year, so we
 MM> had her checked again THIS year) and there is no medical
 MM> reason for it. Her teachers are exceptional, sending home
 MM> worksheets that are not done (now even MAILING/E-Mailing
 MM> them to me to be SURE I get them!) so she can try and catch
 MM> up. But she just seems to be slipping...
 MM> Anyone in a similar situation with ideas on what to
 MM> do that might get her back on track, catch her interest, or
 MM> help in any way is encouraged to reply! Wild Guesses are
 MM> equally  welcome...
Okay... here's a shot in the dark. Has your daughter's blood sugar level
been tested, as well as her iron count? But it could be one of the side
effects of ... here goes... puberty. Sorry,  had to say
it. From what I understand and experienced myself in my teens, low blood
sugar and lack of iron, especially in teenage girls can cause like problems.
It's just a shot... good luck. :)
Take care,
Desiree
