[quote=Anonymous]Oh, yes. And the judgments from teachers--don't get me started. Despite years of work on a 504 plan, then a BIP, then an IEP, the teachers still write/call about how "Larlo needs to focus." And the ones who just don't believe that there is such a thing as ADHD? They are out there, and more common than you might think. We made a practice of writing letters and having meetings at the beginning of the school year outlining our kid's challenges. And asking above all that teachers not take it personally when our kid displays some of the challenging behaviors associated with ADHD and anxiety. A key piece of advice: do not assume that the formal processes (504/IEP) at your school will translate into awareness on the classroom teacher's part. Inform, inform--and inform again.[/quote]
