[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 429679, member: 11847"] Malika, being French and knowing the school system very well over there I would suggest not telling the school as long as he does ok. France is very behind when it comes to adapting the curriculum to special needs kids. My memoire in college (BA) was actually about the law and special needs kids in the school system. France do have wonderful legislation about those kids but, unfortunately, it is not enforced at all. If you live in a small comminity and your son's needs change, then dig the texts of law and try to have the school cooperate. As far as the medical world... trust your doctors and their approach. The french medical system is excellent, but keep your mind open and do not hesitate to get some inspiration in the american approach. Over here, I think there is an overdiagnosis problem... being in France, if your son is confirmed ADHD, then you know it is for Real! Which you knew despite having the school doubting you. [/QUOTE]
