[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten is quite different today than it was when you were in K. There are so many more expectations for working, sitting and paying attention. There is very little playing anymore. They have 25-30 minutes of recess, a quick and chaotic lunch and they have to transition in and out of their classroom to other classes. So think about all the standing in line and quiet walking. Think worksheets... that’s kindergarten today in most public school classrooms. [/quote]

Doesn't seem right then to claim a child has a disability because the standards have changed.  Seems like something might be wrong with the standards not the child.  Standards may change but natural maturity and biology not so much.[/quote]
That’s not the sole criteria.

Often with ADHD, parents notice that the child is a whirling dervish even at 13 months, long before school starts. Or that they struggle with non-school family time activities and outings. My kids were both tested for hearing issues in toddlerhood because they were so daydreamy. Interestingly, the younger one has laser focus during lessons and tests, but is on another planet otherwise.
