[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You get your child evaluated so you know what you are dealing with and can better understand her behavior. Then you decide on treatment options (if any at all) based on how it is impacting her life. [/quote] This OP. Know what you're dealing with. Also accommodations are [b]not[/b] [i]excuses[/i]. A child with a learning disability (and ADHD can impair executive functioning) gets accommodations in school so that they can learn plain and simple. If you want to know more about girls and ADHD, I would suggest Patricia Quinn books: Understanding Girls with ADHD, Attention Girls! A Guide to Learn All about Your ADHD, Understanding Women with ADHD and Gender Issues and ADHD: Research, Diagnosis and Treatment, co-authored with Dr. Kathleen Nadeau. http://www.ncgiadd.org/about/ [/quote]
