[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school is not denying her ability to take and access medicine. She is old enough (10+ years old) to go to the nurse to take the medicine at a set time each day, and it is her responsibility to get there. A simple thing would be setting an alarm. If she can not have a phone or smartwatch, get an analog watch and set that alarm. Figure out the routine. Do you want the nurse to go search the school at 3:05 for dismissal if she does not show up? That is not reasonable and is not the nurse's job. [/quote] This is what kids with ADHD are actively working on. They may not get it right every time, so yes, it is reasonable for an adult to back them up when they forget. Forgetting IS a symptom of the disorder, especially when the medication has worn off. OP is getting some good tips to boost independence here, but it is silly to suggest that an adult nurse as a back up for a child's medical condition is unreasonable.[/quote]
