[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The issue is that DD’s attention issues are “mild” and she didn’t meet all the requirements for a strong ADHD diagnosis, including questionnaires from teachers. If anything it was ONE parents answers that might take her into ADHD diagnosis category. Otherwise not quite there. I am not trying to hide anything. I don’t know how I feel about formally perhaps overstating the ADHD when we know she is dyslexic and want to get services for that! It seems as though we can more easily get services for her in public school if we go through both channels. But I am not convinced that DD is ADHD. [/quote] Did you do any ADHD testing other than checklists? For example, the TOVA? I wouldn't diagnosis anything based on one parent's checklist.[/quote]
