[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 16993, member: 1498"] In the USA the 2005 extension of the federal regulations that govern Special Education prohibit schools from requiring that children be given stimulants to attend school so even if a child didn't take her medication, it simply isn't the schools business. If it were to happen in this country, theoretically there is a legal response so a USAn parent might have options to handle things differently. That's a pretty intimidating position the school has put your daughter in. It seems from what the pediatrician has said that the question is out of line in Canada. Unfortunately by pursuing the question, your daughter is caught in a situation where she has to defy one or the other group of adults -- either not answer the teacher/principal's questions or not give the non-answer you/the pediatrician have told her to give.
