[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 5652, member: 1498"] I saw this book review in USA Today and thought some might be interested. The book is "The Last Normal Child" and the article is [url="http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-10-01-last-normal_x.htm"]"Parents push the new abnormal"[/url]. One of the points of the interview with the author is that children should be tested for learning disabilities before being prescribed medication. [ QUOTE ] The child first should be evaluated for learning disabilities. If he's acting out in class, the teacher should try a behavior management program that offers incentives for good behavior. If a kid is inattentive but not hyperactive — and that's the fastest-growing percentage of kids being diagnosed with ADHD — 90% of the time he has some kind of learning or processing disorder and may need a special educational program.
