[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in my class whose parents refused meds for three years. He's been in self-contained all this time. Now this year he is on meds, is having great days at school, is learning to read, and no longer spends much of each day rolling around on the floor screaming. I know that nobody wants to put their kids on meds, but why wait so long to at least try? You aren't saying you'll give them forever, but what can it hurt to try when a kid is failing so much? It just breaks my heart to see these kids that are in such need that they have been removed from all general education classes and are falling behind, all because they can't focus and feel terrible about themselves. If they had diabetes, wouldn't you try insulin? Sorry to rant on. Good luck. I hope your child finds relief.[/quote]
