[quote=Anonymous]Another thing you can do is have someone go into the class with a timer. Every five minutes they can note what your child is doing. On task? Off task? etc. You can do this for 1/2 hour or 60 minutes. In our DD's case, the practitioner did it twice, once off meds and once on meds. You could see the difference between on task/off task behavior. On meds, she was on-task something like 80% of the time. Off-meds she was about 40% on task. So you have evidence that it's working. In our case the practitioner did not know if she was on or off meds before this quick study, so it was basically a blind test of how the meds affected her classroom ability to focus. You could do something similar. [/quote]
