[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, MCPS does not screen kids for ADHD. I think the first step would be your pediatrician. They will be able to help you figure out how to proceed. They might suggest a psychologist but they might not. There is a screening form that teachers can fill out which describes what they see your child do in the classroom, a kind of rating scale on typical ADHD behaviors, but it is not diagnostic. Once you have a diagnosis in place you can request a meeting with the school to develop a 504 plan for any accommodations your child might need. [/quote] This. Mine was initially flagged by an NIH study, but I had requested school testing previously, and all they did was meet with me and say kid met benchmarks and didn't qualify. Pediatrician referred us to Children's neuropdych consult, and wait took a year, but we were able to get some accommodations in the meantime between NIH and Pediatrician. [/quote]
