[quote=Anonymous]I'm a little late to this thread but ... I really love the 1st link (posted below) that I previously posted on this board somewhere.  I sent it to everyone who comes in contact with my son at school.  We have been so lucky that my son's teachers have been open to understanding ADHD.  I truly believe that there are so many misconceptions by teachers that I try to educate them whenever I can just so they can at least have some understanding of how ADHD presents and what it is like for the child in the classroom since it is basically an "invisible disability" that to outsiders presents itself as the kid being poorly parented, lazy and/or defiant.  My son is doing the best he has ever done in school so far (3rd grade) mainly because he has a solid IEP for accomodations, his teacher is open to frequent contact and is very positive about anything she implements with him, and we started medication which has really helped to quiet the noise in his head and cut down on the impulsivity. His whole outlook is so much better and it's really nice to see him happy with himself and happy to be in school and learning.  Here are the links that may be helpful!
