[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher and agree that some kids are so relieved to get meds and are able to stop working so very hard to control themselves socially and behaviorally at school and in other settings. You can try meds, and stop if you don’t see a big benefit and your kid doesn’t, either. So many unmedicated kids feel like failures and they try so hard. [b]Imagine if you had poor vision. You could always try to sit up front and ask to have things read to you and double-check everything, or you could get glasses and just be a student like everyone else[/b].[/quote] That is such a good analogy. Accommodations are great and often necessary, but no substitute for actual treatment, when available.[/quote]
