[quote=Anonymous]My friend’s older teen struggles to remember to take her adhd booster. This school’s statement that if she doesn’t go on her own then she doesn’t want it is ridiculous. She has adhd which by definition makes it harder to remember to do things when they need to be done and harder to stick to routines. Does your child have an IEP/education plan (might be called something else - private schools use different names)? Does the school have a counselor or other admin point of contact for kids with learning differences, special needs, and accommodations? If so, start there and explain how this is impacting your child (in tears in the evenings, etc) and that a 13 year old with adhd shouldn’t be expected to reliably remember to go out of her way to get her meds without a reminder. It’s bizarre that they are unwilling to provide assistance with this. Is it the timing? Would they be able to call her to the appropriate office if she took the meds at lunch? [/quote]
