ADHD Boarding Schools and ADHD Schools
When considering sending your child to ADHD boarding schools, you may wonder if you really should. If your child needs the help and you find good ADHD schools to choose from, it could be very beneficial.
Let me tell you about friends of mine. There were children, a boy and a girl, that were friends with a family that had 2 girls around the same age.
The children were all friends. The boy and girl had a mother that abused drugs and brought men around that abused the children. The children were taken from the mother and the family with the 2 girls took them in as foster children.
They were both good children but had a lot of psychological problems and were heavily medicated (can you expect anything else from the government?). The boy was a little violent at times but he was about 9-10 years old, so he could be controlled physically.
It wasn't long before he started getting his growth spurt and things got worse. He was sent away for a couple years. I don't know if it was a boarding school or some kind of home with professional mental health doctors.
He still got into trouble there, and fought with the other children. What else do you expect from a house full of troubled boys?
This story is continued below the video. Information about the schools are also below, towards the bottom of the page.

His time there really helped him out. He eventually moved back home and I haven't heard about him having 1 violent "episode". He is in highschool and been back for a couple years. If he was to have a violent episode now, as big as he is as compared to then, it would not be good.
I said all that to say, sometimes sending a troubled child away can help them out in amazing ways. That is what you will have to explore.
In another situation, my nephew is a troubled ADHD teen. He lies all the time which has gotten him into a lot of trouble (talks about how he sells drugs and stores them in his closet and he has guns which none is true). He steals from his mom and other relatives and then says he didn't do it. He was never sent away and his future is not looking very good.
I have not investigated any of these schools, so I don't know of their credibility or validity. I am just providing a listing so that you have some options to research.
