[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 82373, member: 3184"] I am leary of schools, and if the child is insured I would encourage you to get private testing done. If you are his guardian this is your right. There are many disorders that can mimic ADHD, and they should be checked. In my area I believe that the professionals employed by the schools are overworked and I do not feel it is the schools responsibility to test my child unless it is necessary due to finances/insurance reasons. As for medication, you can make your own decision. As SRL stated, many of us were against medications and changed our ways. This is a difficult journey, but you will make it as long as you know your options and continue to research them. Welcome [/QUOTE]
