[quote=Anonymous]Here is what you do. 1. You send a letter to the school asking for a 504 evaluation (see https://chadd.org/for-parents/requesting-an-evaluation-in-public-schools/) 2. School is legally required to start an evaluation and this will include a checklist process to your son's teachers and one to pediatrician 3. You can use these forms for a diagnosis at a pediatrician or other medical professional. My kid had clear ADHD so we never sought any expensive screenings and he is on medication issues by pediatrician. He was treated briefly by a child psychologist who agreed with ADHD diagnosis. The psychologist was helpful because his self-esteem was completely wrecked by his kindergarten teacher. I regret not starting medication earlier. Good luck and post any more questions here. Happy to help. [/quote]
