[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has several friends who received diagnoses and were counseled out.  When my own child was diagnosed (ADHD inattentive presentation), the parents of those children told me to be careful of disclosing too much to the school or requesting too many accommodations, as that went badly for them.  But the school has been extremely helpful, and has even proactively made accommodations for my child without waiting for us to request them.  We have not once encountered the slightest suggestion that my child should consider any other school.  I'm not sure why the difference in outcome, but there's no one-size-fits-all answer here![/quote]

Did you disclose?[/quote]

Yes.  And we simultaneously told them about all of the therapies we were starting to pursue outside of school (cognitive behavioral therapy, talk therapy, and individualized executive function coaching).  We wanted them to know we're doing everything we can, and that seems to be appreciated by the school.[/quote]
