[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 249539, member: 2423"] Teachers are not allowed by law to offer diagnostic or treatment opinions. They are teachers, not doctors. In your shoes, I would ask the principal to sit in on your meeting with the teacher because what the teacher is doing is illegal. Tics can absolutely be exacerbated by stimulants like Ritalin. Although my son's tics come and go on their own and he no longer takes stimulants because of mood issues, his tics definitely worsened on certain stimulants. What you're describing with your son is not uncommon. You should ask the psychiatrist what to do. If stimulants are necessary but tics persist, medications can be added to calm the tics. [/QUOTE]
