I believe in putting children on medication if they are properly diagnosed.

I feel that not putting them on medication simply to avoid "conforming" them is essentially setting them behind from the start. While medications may seem overused, in many cases they are needed or the child will have less room to grow.

A child struggling and falling behind is not what I would consider an "individual" or "unique" style of learning. While many ADD/ADHD children may be able to develop and adjust to their disorder without medication, some may not. A child hating a pill wouldn't be something I'd base it on either -- children hate taking cold medication and the like, but that is clearly something beneficial to them.
