[quote=Anonymous]It been beneficial for our DS, 9, with ASD/ADHD/LD in written expression to know his diagnosis. He is fully mainstreamed with IEP and does great academically and we are lucky that he gets a lot of supports from his IEP since he was diagnosed in preK4. DS has friends at school and from his extracurricular activities and has always been above grade level academically. Loves school too. DS has always known his diagnosis and so he "owns" it and is aware of his deficits, need to take medication for his ADHD, etc He can self advocate and you cannot compensate unless you identify the problem. We are considering mainstream private middle schools where the only supports will be extended time for testing but at this point DS doesn't need much more than that. You may want to enroll your DS in a therapy program like PEERS run by Dr. David Black.[/quote]
