[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 572249, member: 11791"] Without the additional dxes... we found this reaction was typical. They don't want to put in the effort unless they have to - because there are lots more kids who are "in more need of help than your kid". (yes, that was the principal's words to us.) Come up with additional dxes, and it becomes harder to make that case. Especially if there is something along the lines of Aspie or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Even schools are starting to recognize that these spectrum kids "think different". (starting... we still have a long way to go!) "Just" ADHD is... well, kind of normal. There's lots of kids with ADHD dxes that get NO accommodations. Why should yours be different? (putting words in their mouths... not MY feelings, of course) [/QUOTE]
