[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 485796, member: 59"] Step 2 - I guess I have heard this before but in our area teachers are not even allowed to suggest that the parents take the child to a doctor, let alone that the child should be medicated. If the teacher suspects something is going on that needs to be addressed he/she follows the procedures requests to have an evaluation done in the school setting. Never do they suggest a diagnosis to a parent or suggest the child be taken to a doctor or medicated. They present the finding and leave it up to the parents. I have seen where this approach has delayed the dianosis and/or treatment of a child but it's catch 22. I agree it should always be up to the parents but believe me it is fairly obvious to a teacher when something out of the norm is happening. Nancy [/QUOTE]
