[quote=Anonymous]You are fooling yourself if you think that your child’s current teachers and future teachers won’t know this one way or the other. If it was present enough for you to receive a diagnosis, they notice as well. Teachers see this every day in all schools. Keeping these types of things secret, A) long term will hurt your child B) shows a lack of trust in the institution C) communicates your own shame in this learning difference to the child and others. I know you worry that people will think less of your child’s abilities but your child is just fine and these diagnoses are just that. They are information that doesn’t negate your child’s individuality or potential. Sharing a diagnosis helps the school and teachers understand what your child needs to learn best, even if you think they don’t need accommodations now. Please talk to a therapist about your own fears here and be honest with the school no matter where you end up. Your child deserves it.[/quote]
