[quote=Anonymous]If school was different or I could get a full time one-on-one tutor in lieu of school (realistically) then we wouldn't do meds. But the system is not going to change enough to really help kids with moderate to severe ADHD and one-on-one tutoring full time is not realistic for just about everyone. The fact is DD cannot complete class work or absorb anything going on without them. Even with them it's variable (we are still trying for the best med/dose). Some ADHD is worse than others. I agree it probably doesn't make sense for those who cope okay without them just aren't as stellar, but for those like my kid who are basically nonfunctional without them, I think the alternative is just worse. She also gets plenty of IEP support, OT, reward-based behavior therapy, and tutoring, but I think to function at all in a group setting for some time, she's going to need meds, and even then there are plenty of challenges.[/quote]
