I'm the parent of a child with severe ADHD who needs frequent redirection in class. I would be MORTIFIED if this burden of redirection and social cueing should be on the shoulders of a classmate, to the detriment of their own learning! This is the job of the classroom aide, special educator, or whoever is qualified to help.

This poor girl is being put into an awful situation:

1. Please commend her for her courage in speaking up.

2. Also praise the delicacy of feeling which she demonstrated, not wanting to hurt her classmate and long-time friend.

3. Separate them.

4. Contact the parents of the child with special needs regarding what accommodations are available to her. Do they have an IEP or 504 plan, which would guarantee special services for their daughter? They have to be acquainted with the whole special needs process, and must be made to understand that their child needs more support than what a peer can give them, and also that it's unfair to the peer.
