[QUOTE="buddy, post: 495267, member: 12886"] I found you ! OK now I get it.... Sorry somehow i missed your post, I dont know how I did that since I usually at least peak at everyone... yeah I am just that nosy...LOL I have to agree with some of the others. I would really wonder about additional or different issues. "THEY" say 70% of kids diagnosed with adhd are misdiagnosed. My son, for example, has adhd listed by some folks, but it really describes the symptoms he shows which fall under his real diagnosis which is a temporal/frontal lobe injury. It also is associated with his autism. If you possibly can, it would probably be helpful to get a really good comprehensive evaluation with a team of professionals or a neuropsychologist. Medication really only helps a child be in a place where you can start to do teh REAL work which means some special interventions depending on the diagnosis and skill deficits. (if it helps at all, I am so glad it does at least somewhat for us.... ) YOu say they said she did not qualify for an IEP or 504 but did she even ever have an evaluation? Let us know so we can help you if you are feeling she needs support in school that she is not getting. You might want to start a thread that says something about your introducing your child and asking for input... you might get more replies if interested. Again, nice to meet you. Now, did I fulfill your expectations of posting a LOT more??? LOL [/QUOTE]
