[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 487052, member: 1550"] Well, we were told the same thing about my daughter's ADD. So we took her a neuropsychologist and he still couldn't find anything at all, not even ADD, but something WAS impacting her ability to learn. We finally had to get an advocate and she went to our Dept. of Public Education. We did not get an IEP, but we did get a 504 plan, which was extremely helpful to her. She is getting mostly B's this year as a sophomore in high school (this is after her struggling to pass every test last year). She is on a low dose of Vyvanse and NO WAY would I let the school force me to give her more medicine...she starts to feel funny on a higher dose. Educators can not legally force you to give your child any medication...that is not their job. They are not doctors. I suggest you call the Dept. of Education in your state and find out who your district's free student advocate is and call her/him. ADD/ADHD is a fuzzy area. It is not considered a bad enough disability for many special services, yet they want you to medicate your child...it helps to HAVE the help of an advocate. Keep us updated! [/QUOTE]
