[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 51758, member: 3820"] <<hugs>> To find your way here and open up means you've been hip deep at least in combat for a while and are to be commended for surviving. It sounds like you've had some good advice posted already regarding medications and your legal rights regarding the school district. A few words that may help you further... 1. Educate yourself. Read everything you can get your hands on. Question it all. Read both sides of every debate there is on AD/HD and then you'll begin to have more tools to be able to make appropriate decisions for yourself and your family. Because when it comes down to it - to use medication, to go to counseling, to use a behavior program, to litigate a school district - it all depends on what's important to your family. And the only person who can make those choices and decisions are you and your family. 2. Find yourself support. Make sure to take care of yourself first and foremost. Remember when you fly on an airplane, the stewardesses tell you to put your oxygen mask on before helping others. Finding the boards is a great first step. 3. See #2. 4. Educate your family and friends so that they are better able to provide #2. The best of luck to you, it sounds like you've been a warrior woman and have a long battle in front of you for this coming school year. Find yourself a good advocate to help support you.
