[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's 6 years old, not in 6th grade. Based on my experience, he may be able to get into a school if his behavior is good. [b]I'm not sure what the best approach would be for telling them of the diagnosis though.[/b] Regardless, around 3rd grade you'll most likely have to start medicating him if there are any behavior issues at all to remain in the school. [/quote] Honesty works really well. I was up front with admissions about my kids dx. I sent in the neuropsych and gave them authorization to speak directly to the previous years teachers. No matter what the outcome was---everyone was on the same page. Why would you want to send your child to a school that is not prepared to support them? They can't support the child if they are unaware of the need for support. Sending a child that needs support into an environment that doesn't provide it and is unaware of the need to do so is a recipe for disaster for everyone.[/quote]
