[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD received 1.5 time on tests at NCS based on testing that was originally done in middle school.  She didn't receive class notes or any extended time to hand in assignments.  The other recommendations from her neuropsych testing including sitting toward the front of the room, etc., but weren't really need in the small classes at NCS.  Good luck.[/quote]

My daughter had the same experience. We noticed several signs of inattentive adhd in 6th grade. She wasn't getting bad grades, but the effort to do well seemed too stressful. We talked to our pediatrician and got a recommendation for a neuropsych. We did not "shop around" for a pre-determined conclusion, but in the end our concerns were confirmed by a well regarded psychologist and full neuropsych which is a lot more than "answering questions specific ways".

Our child thrived in middle and now high school (current senior). I hate that people are suspicious of kids getting extra time thinking that the system is being "gamed" by everyone. I have a hard time believing that many would want their kid to take medication that wasn't necessary.[/quote]
