[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 560116, member: 1550"] Maybe he works better one-on-one than independently (at home is there one-on-one?) Many kids with particular disorders (not limited to ADHD) can perform much better with a helper beside him. Is your home quieter? Less stimulation? Does your son react to noise or distraction or other commotion? Are you sure there is NOTHING wrong at home? Was he an easy infant and child up until now? Did he reach his milestones on time? Can he relate well to his same age peers? What kind of professional diagnosed him with ADHD? I would have a private evaluation by a neuropsychologist (my favorite type of evaluator because they don't leave out anything) and then, if he thinks it's a good idea, go to school asking for a 504 or IEP. in my opinion the schools never test very well or too intensively as they really don't want to give out any support services and could short your child on things that he needs. Get another opinion first so you have something to come to them with. Does the idea of Son getting extra supports bother you? Thought I read t hat in between the lines :) From my own experience, which could be wrong, men seem to have a harder time thinking their child may be different than woman do.
