    I have a rising 3rd grader and a rising 9th grader (😭I'm not ready)!

    This summer is going to be very different for my neurodiverse 9th grader. They are transitioning from a year-round academic calendar to a traditional calendar, which means 10 weeks off for summer instead of 5 weeks. We enrolled him in camp but there aren't many options for that age so we were unable to fill up all 10 weeks. When he registered for classes, he chose AP World History for next year, and was given an assignment to complete over the summer. We were both surprised.

    I'm not sure I have a specific question, but I would love to hear any advice or recommendations that the experts may have to get neurodiverse children and families ready for the next school year.

    Same girl same, I am not ready for Elena to be a 9th grader either!!!!! And also being neurodiverse and switching districts. I am hoping to keep her busy too. AP classes are like that though, I took them all though out high school and my brother in law teaches them here in CA (History, Econ and Government) so if you guys need anything, let us know! That was also my credentialed area when I was still teaching like 100 years ago, so I am happy to help with the project from afar too if you need anything!

    I have always tried to balance structure and fun to not overdo everything, especially since now Elena is older and also scaffolding to build up to something they like. Elena is a water bug, always has been. So she has taken all sorts of different swimming classes and paired them with a basic swim center pass. She has now taken all of the classes at the rec center, including the junior and the regular lifeguard and safety courses and CPR certification courses and she is turning 14 in 2 weeks. Because of this, she has been able to partner with her Alta Regional rep for other swimming and other learning activities she likes and has found more advanced things like introductions to teaching aquatics and mermaid swimming and pearl diving style courses she can take now she has the experience she has. Because it was already paired with something she loves, it did not seem like school, homework or an added chore - she really loves it and she gets to practice social skills, executive functioning and other life skills she is going to need beyond what the basic information the courses themselves provide.
