[QUOTE="buddy, post: 522657, member: 12886"] IN my family (extended) adhd also is not getting much support, when he was very young individual teachers would do some extra sticker rewards etc....but now?? nope. My sister finally submitted the letter and asked for an assessment. (by the way, they contacted her within a week and the initial evaluation planning meeting is already set for this coming week!, this is where usually (in my experience) our schools around the cities have been really good, we get audited a lot and so are pretty strict about timing and due process that way...they felt he needed support, I hope that continues when she meets with them) As far as not wanting to do adhd supports due to finances, I dont disagree at all! BUT sadly I think it is more than that. Most people in the trenches, the teachers, therapists, etc. do not think of budget at all. When sitting around thinking of goals and accommodation suggestions and writing drafts, the admin is not anywhere around you. You write it up and propose it at meetings. (again MY experience, others have different I am sure) and I have not often been in meetings where accommodations like supporting a child with organization has been shot down. It doesn't affect salaries or add staff time so budget is not affected.... I think the break down is that people just dont do it. Maybe partly they are overwhelmed with numbers of students and ok, I will give people that, but it really does not take much and you can do it with a group (no shortage of kids who need that specific accommodation) and I hope one one can shoot me thru a computer screen, but I think it is often people being lazy. Sad but true in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
