[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure there are many boys at Landon, as at St. Albans and Sidwell, etc., who have symptoms of ADD or perhaps have had a formal diagnosis. The vast majority and perhaps nearly all are on medication. In getting the testing done, make clear to the tester whether you are seeking a formal ADD diagnosis (so you can get special treatment in school, more time for tests, etc. -- mostly for people who aren't on medication or for whom the meds don't work) or whether you want a report that indicates whether some ADD symptoms exist, so you can get a meds prescription, but not a formal ADD diagnosis. I think the latter symptoms-only report is what most people seek. The meds immensely help the child and improve your day to day life at home as well - seen it happen over and over again with kids and families - home chaos to relative calm; school difficulties and struggles to school success and focus; sports mediocrity to sports focus and success.[/quote]
