[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ you are choosing to trust one professional over another.

It turns out your kid was 2E, and whatever intervention you're doing is helping. So you are trusting the doctors, but did they prescribe meds? Not passing judgement, but if your kid is now on medication, that helps the kid focus, and that would help any kid focus, and give their best.[/quote]

Child was diagnosed last year with a full psychoeducational eval and in working with the pediatrician as well.  Not medicated, and no current plans to do so, per discussions with pediatrician.  [/quote]

I am not saying that there is anything wrong with 2E, or with any needed/beneficial interventions, and I certainly didn't want to come across that way. I was not saying that you were not right to trust your instinct, but I was only trying to point out that docs can be wrong too, even if there is a panel of them. [/quote]

Not that this matters, but the kid in question was never referred to Level II in K-2, so I think the AART really did not know the kid at all.  
I don't think the classroom teachers are "trained" in ADHD - I think they're specifically not allowed to "diagnose" anyone due to lack of expertise in the area.  When I took the kiddo in for the eval, I really didn't know what I was looking for in the terms of the eval.  I really didn't even know that much about ADHD myself, though once I learned more about it, everything started to make sense.  I didn't even know 2E was a "thing", until I was told I had one.  
I now think the Center school does have more experience with 2E kids, which has been nice.[/quote]
