I'd seriously consider trying her on meds for awhile, and see if that helps her focus so she can learn. It may take awhile to get the right med and right dosage, but it would be so worth it. My brother has ADD, but it was not diagnosed until he was in High School. As a result, he was never able to focus well enough to learn, and at 24 years old is probably at a 8th grade level even though he graduated from high school. He can't spell very well, he is an awful writer, math is very difficult for him, and the other subjects aren't much easier. When he is on meds he is a completely different guy- he can focus, he got all A's and B's, he makes good decisions, he feels good about himself, and he's able to learn just fine. When he doesn't take the meds he can't focus, he is very frustrated, makes horrible decisions, gets himself into trouble, and consequently becomes very depressed, making the cycle even worse. The problem is that because he didn't start taking meds until he was in High School, he's got a lot of catching up to do, and at this point he may never catch up. You really have nothing to lose by trying the meds, and at least when she is older she will know that you did everything you possibly could to help her reach her potential. With the proper meds to give her focus, her IQ could be incredibly higher. I'm not a person who suggests meds for everything. My mom is a teacher and has tried every suggestion possible in the non-med arena for the kids in her classroom with ADD or ADHD. Her conclusion is that the only thing that works for these kids is the meds. She saw a dramatic improvement in the kids in a very short period of time, and said they were like completely different kids- happy, focused, learning, not being disruptive, and they were able to catch on to things that they previously weren't understanding when they were not on the meds. So, based on all of that, I highly suggest taking your daughter to the doctor and trying her on some medications. Just give it a little time to find the right medication and dosage, and you will not regret it. Best of luck.
