[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 11966, member: 23"] Hi gail The school environment is very different from the home environment -- there are just so many things at school that distract ADHD kids -- a buzzing light, rustling paper, someone walking down the hall. I wouldn't "talk" to anyone at school, I'd send a letter requesting an evaluation in accordance with IDEA regs. It's very important to send the letter via Certified Mail. The CM provides you and difficult child some legal protections as well as starts the clock ticking pertinent to the timeline the sd has to complete the evaluation process.

Welcome to the forum. [/QUOTE]
