[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds to me maybe you are upset her grades are not better when they are excellent. What supports are you looking for? More than likely if she is doing well, you will get no help in less you doctor shop to find someone to tweak the scores to get what you need/want.[/quote] OP here. No, not upset by her grades at all. She's generally a good student. Just concerned that, while she has good organizational skills and is keeping up with schoolwork, the rigors of junior and senior-year coursework may be too much for her. The only support I can think of is extra time on tests. [/quote] You make me sick. Your child has no academic problems and you are just gaming the system. Some of our kids have actual special needs and you are doing us all a disservice by giving true SN parents a bad name. [/quote] Puh-lease. Dramatic much? OP is not looking to game the system. [b]She is asking if she should have her DD's medical diagnosis of ADHD revisited in order to better understand her DD's development. [/b] It's not any different than a kid in ES being evaluated even though there's not (yet) a demonstrable learning impact. OP's DD is entering an important period where she will decide what she's going to do after HS. Having knowledge of her strengths/weaknesses/challenges is important You need to recognize there is a continuum of special needs. Someone being on the more mild end doesn't mean it's not a 'true' SN. It's people like you that inhibit discussion and shut down conversations. Take that chip off your shoulder. [/quote] NP. Actually, OP is not saying the bolded. She said things are fine right now, but they might get worse later when things get harder and she wants access to accommodations. Personally, I think she's likely to spend money but not get accommodations because her daughter clearly doesn't need them. If a problem arises, deal with it then. You can't really be preemptive and get accommodations 'just in case' you need them later.[/quote] It took us a full school year to get an appointment for testing and get the report back so we could send it to the school. It is much smarter to be proactive when you already know she has the diagnosis.[/quote]
