[quote=Anonymous]I have a child with ADHD and school does get more difficult as they get older. We did choose to medicate and it’s been a godsend. However, I can understand why you chose not to. Yet as your child gets older, it might be a good idea to revisit that decision if you think DC is struggling. The school will require testing to get accommodations. The school can test but my experience is the school testing often misses a lot. We did testing for 2 kids at Children’s. Insurance covered a portion. The waitlist is long but we got in more quickly by asking to be placed on the cancellation list. Above posters are correct about needing to update testing. Our son doesn’t have ADHD but does have other disabilities and he was denied accommodations by the CB because his testing was out of date. The CB is especially suspicious of kids who don’t have a history of accommodations so test sooner rather than later and get the 504 in place. [/quote]
