Right from the beginning, Andy received the additional support he needed. Today, he continues to be part of small groups that provide “personal attention [for] difficult concepts” in any of his courses. Andy understands how valuable these groups are. “It’s like getting tutored,” he says.
The flexibility of the Connections Academy curriculum enables Andy and his Learning Coach to adapt his schedule to what works for him. “As a person with ADHD, my mind often begins to wander after about 10 minutes,” Andy notes. Their approach: take as many breaks as Andy needs, “and then I can grasp the academic concepts quicker.”
