"For the next few years, we worked really hard as a network; at home, at school and with professional help. We worked as a team in order to help Aaron help himself.  I introduced daily marks to be given by the teacher, so I could praise or correct his school behaviour and help Aaron focus more easily on what he should do, rather than what he wanted to do.  A modified system is still in practice and he is in the first year of his Secondary school having graduated with Excellence from his primary school.  His first school report showed clearly, his antisocial behaviour, however, his latest report could have been mistaken for a child without ADHD.  We’re extremely proud of him."
