I think I am going to try and set aside my issue with the labels and revisit some of the literature so that I am well prepared to discuss this at his upcoming P-T conference. I don't know yet what his most recent standardized test scores were, I can't imagine they were too bad since the grades he is bring home are all in the A-B range. I've been meaning to raise this issue with my T, but just haven't for some reason. I think next session I will ask her if she or others in her practice do diagnostic screening for ADHD in children. When I ask the ped doc, he really dismissed my concerns and referred me to a neurologist what would see my son until he had an EEG and stuff. I wasn't ready to put him through all that before I had more reason for concern.
Thanks again everyone for you responses. If I find any good tips for helping early readers with ADHD, I'll post them.
