AEF offers alternative schooling and teaching programs for children and adolescents who are not experiencing success in traditional public or private schools, socially, and or at home. Some of the students with ADHD at AEF have difficulty with organizational, homework, social, attention, focus, friendships, and decision making skills. The specialized curriculum of AEF is designed to help remediate the cognitive, life, social, and communication skill deficits that these students exhibit.
Some of the students have been diagnosed with ADHD, however, two students with ADHD are as different from each other as two students without ADHD and therefore the interventions and curriculum need to be individualized as there is no single full proof method which promotes success in every child. The unique cognitive, social, and life ADHD school curriculum offered at AEF allows students to develop the specific skills necessary for their individual success.

(the names given in 1980) or ADHD. The disorder’s name has changed as a result of scientific advances and the findings of careful field trials;
In keeping with this evidence, ADHD is now divided into three subtypes, according to the main features associated with the disorder: inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
