[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working with sp ed students, I would say if your child can be successful in school without medication then by all means do not medicate. However, if they cannot be successful, or struggle a whole lot, then trying medication is a good idea.[/quote] +1 Initially we had a teacher and principal tell us DS needed medication to be successful. Within a year we had worked very hard with DS using therapies, timers, tools, techniques, and better diet to improve. Its not perfect (still using modifications, like extra time and reminders) and DS still struggles some to stay on task and focused, but he is at a level that is manageable for everyone. He gets good grades and socializes.[/quote]
