[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It has nothing to do with how well he does academically. ([b]ADHD meds don't give you better grades.)[/b] Most kids who need medication, need it to help regulate themselves, stay in their seat, listen to the teacher, etc. [/quote] Ok this confuses me. We are considering medication for our ADHD- inattentive daughter largely for her inability to focus in school and complete assignments on time. If the medication helps her focus then presumably she will be able to concentrate on what she is learning and her grades will improve. And anecdotally I have heard parents say that their child's grades shot up after starting medicine. [/quote] Medication will definitely help with grades for the exact reasons you state. [/quote]
