[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her psychiatrist is able to diagnose her. She needs to talk to the doctor. Make an appointment during winter break.[/quote] +1. I will also add that it’s the diagnosis itself isn’t the end of the journey. The logistics of the medication (what works, does insurance continue to cover it, does supply chain issues mean it’s out of stock, getting off campus without a car to pick it up) is one thing. Then your kid has to also be the one to follow up with disability services at school if they are seeking accommodations (like time and a half and distraction free test environment) as part of it. The executive functioning support can also be helpful but your child has to be invested in wanting this. There might be an ADHD group class on campus or something available for an extra fee thru the college OR something you may look for outside of school. There is also the social component of ADHD that your child could also be dealing with.[/quote]
