[quote=Anonymous]I think the answer is mixed. I don't think the demands of school -- which are very high, in my opinion -- lead to more kids getting labeled. DS has ADHD and a neuropsych we recently consulted, looking over past feedback from even preschool, along with previous testing, said it was obvious going way back that this was going to be an issue. DS does have a horrible time with homework -- the day is really long and, even with an IEP, there's still a lot of work. It doesn't always get done -- teachers are very understanding. That's the down side. On the plus side, schools are more aware of how kids learn today and, at least at DS' school, school projects offer many options for kids, that allow kids to show what they learned through a variety of methods: writing, art, building things. Moreover, they often are very creative in their teaching methods for all kids.[/quote]
