ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia

Hi all,

I need to draw on the wisdom of the list again. Many of the scouts in my
troop are ADD, ADHD, and/or dyslexic. One of the fathers of a boy who is
ADHD and dyslexic approached me and asked if he could counsel his son on
many (~10) merit badges at a time so he could bounce back and forth between
merit badges to help keep his son interested. He is currently the
Cubmaster of a pack and acting as a committee member in our troop. I told
him I wouldn't mind and to have his son document his work on each merit
badge to show the counselor his work and he would probably get a blue card
signed off then. What is your opinion? Is this the correct thing to do?

YiS,
