[quote=Anonymous]While it can take time to find the right dose, your ds can articulate if he is able to focus in class. You need to listen to your child. My ds knew that his medication was wearing off mid morning (when the dose he was on was too low). We didn't ask him the right questions, but once we did, he KNEW the medication was wearing off and we were able to increase the dose. Also, grades will be an indication. My ds's grades before we got the medication regimen he is on now were A+ in some classes and Ds in the other classes, because he had so much missing work! Untreated ADHD is correlated with depression and self medicating. I would at the very least, get your child a 504 for the accommodations. He has a medical diagnosis and needs these things the same way a child in a wheelchair needs a wheel chair ramp. [/quote]
