Ask:
DS had a appointment with his Dr. this morning, I think it went very well, DS seemed to listen and he asked a few questions, the Dr. spent a lot of time with him explaining what ADD is and how its treated. Now DS will have an appointment with a child psychologist who will administer the battery of tests to determine if DS does have ADD.
I asked the Dr. if the school had to be notified if DS did have ADD, he told me that was up to me, if I wanted the school to know, I could tell them and he would give us a written diagnosis if necessary. I do not want the school invovled unless its absolutely necessary. I do not want DS labeled or treated differently.
The school counselor finally called me back after I left her two messages and sent two emails. She was no help at all, she told me she would talk to DS's teachers and get back to me but I haven't heard from her yet. I had already emailed 5 of DS's 7 teachers asking about DS's behavior during class, the 3 teachers who responed all said DS is easily distracted and has trouble staying on task, he doesn't do his work during class time which causes him to have lots of homework. I'm not sure why they waited until the school year is almost over to tell me this.
