Don't trust schools to "help" your children with ADHD. Parents are in the best position to help their children succeed, not teachers, administrators, and school counselors.

Please carefully consider letting anyone in the school know that your son has ADHD---- they will be labeled, stereotyped, and forced into a "IEP" or Individual Education Plan. Those really just single out the ADHD children and isolate them with a label. Stigmatization is damaging.

There are varying degrees of severity in ADHD. You as a parent know the child better than the school.
