[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 129077"] I'm with Kathy and Lisa on this one. The way I see it, I'm (or wasn't) in school with my daughter so the only information I had came from my daughter. Of course, that was very one-sided and came from a kid with a skewed perception. I wouldn't want a teacher to try to formally diagnosis a child - or anyone else without the proper training and education - but I would be happy to hear what the teacher sees. I want them to be my eyes and ears when I'm not there. I really wanted the SD to be in partnership with insuring difficult child got the help she needs. I was truly interested in what the teachers observed in the classroom. Unfortunately in our case, all too often my child was overlooked and I got the, 'she's fine' when her classwork indicated otherwise. Instead of looking at it as the teacher trying to diagnosis, maybe the teacher was just putting what she sees into terms she can relate to. Maybe the behavior she sees makes her - and would maybe make other lay people - think of certain conditions which is why she labeled it the way she did. I would look at it as more symptoms. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
