[quote=Anonymous]What grade and what county? We had/ have the complete opposite, I have to say. By that I mean, once we suspected in first grade ( now in HS), we have only had support from every teacher! I know hard to believe as public school often gets a bad rap on here but for us it has been true.

One thing I found is that there are so many kids, with so many issues, that you really cannot expect a teacher to know as much as you will about your dc special needs. So much of adhd presents as a behavior problem when it is really cognitive/ exec functioing that you have to keep pushing that message or the the few staff who don't get it, will continue to say the things they are saying to you.
 The MS and HS teachers have gone beyond what I have ever expected for our DS....like using dragon a dictation software, encouraging all work in google docs so if forgotten at home in cyberspace, meeting him at 7 am for extra help, encouraging him to take picture of the homeowrk board on his phone, calling us on weekends.

I wish you the best of luck because it is a long haul and you have to help so much/ be a constant advocate, and things still fall through the crack!  Big hug.
