[quote=Anonymous]OP, you seem to be concerned about what others think or how your DD will be labeled if she is evaluated and diagnosed.  Most people, frankly, don't care.  When I tell people my DD has ADHD or is on meds, they reply "Oh really?" and never ask any follow up questions.  DD is a popular girl, has plenty of friends, involved in competitive sports, works hard in school and is adjusting well.  She has areas where she needs support and the teachers provide accomodations as they go along.  You are doing your DD a disservice by not having her evaluated.  As a PP said, you have many treatement options that inlucde therapy, meds, classroom interventions, social skills goups.  The counselor at DDs school has a "Friendship Club".  It is really a social skills group.  The kids love it and think its cool.  They share their thoughts and the counselor just lets them talk but gives them ground rules.  It is a mixed bag of students with LDs, ADHD, traditional learners.  So, I think you should be proactive in helping your DD and figuring it out.[/quote]
