Just diagnosed!

HI! I am very new! My son is 13 and was just diagnosed with ADHD and severe depression. I am going into his 504 with his school. He is doing a public online school. I am having difficulty with accountability because at the moment he doesn't care about anything! It is very difficult!!

Are there options for public school not online? Does he know why he is depressed? Figuring henis in counseling i would work on his mental health first and let the school work follow. He might fall a bit behind but once he has a plan he might be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel. He is probably frustrated and overwhelmed from school work and once behind feels like he can’t catch up- so why bother. Good luck.
