[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I think the glasses analogy is apprapos, my husband countered the diabetic argument to say that our child's ADD -- which he isn't really convinced of -- is not life threatening like diabetes. If you are philosophically opposed to medicating for ADD, which my spouse is in my child's case, medication is ``pathaologizing boyhood.''[/quote] That's funny. Being near sighted isn't life threatening either but I can't function very well without my glasses. Med's are worth a try. I am looking at DS's MAP scores from Spring and Fall. The Fall scores fell in both Reading and Math, test taken without meds. Actually, the teacher had told me he was having a lot of problems taking the fall MAP and one of the reasons we went back on meds even though DS tests above grade level academically. If it is like that with testing, it is affecting his learning in the classroom. [/quote]
