[quote=Anonymous]DC is about to start middle school. Throughout the elementary, all teachers have noted that he sometimes has difficulty staying on task, needs to take breaks and have reminders. At the same time, he is in FCPS AAP, has all 4s, is doing great and loves school. I've asked teachers directly if I should pursue an ADD inattentive diagnosis and they have given vague answers - as expected I guess. Myself, I just can't say. Now, my question - it is my understanding that in middle school, the warm and nurturing atmosphere may not necessarily continue, in that the kids are expected to be more independent and teachers will not be as patient with breaks and reminders and such. Given this, should I have him tested so as to receive accommodations - if he qualifies of course?[/quote]
