[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The issue is that DD’s attention issues are “mild” and she didn’t meet all the requirements for a strong ADHD diagnosis, including questionnaires from teachers. If anything it was ONE parents answers that might take her into ADHD diagnosis category. Otherwise not quite there. I am not trying to hide anything. I don’t know how I feel about formally perhaps overstating the ADHD when we know she is dyslexic and want to get services for that! It seems as though we can more easily get services for her in public school if we go through both channels. But I am not convinced that DD is ADHD. [/quote] From a school perspective, the only issues that matter are the one's that have educational impact. If the symptoms are so mild that your kid can still stay on task, do her work accurately and on time, pay attention to instructions etc., then there is no point to getting an ADHD diagnosis, especially if you don't think she really has it.[/quote]
