Part of my question, though, is how/where one draws the line between a relative weakness and a disability. Perhaps it’s not the correct/sole question to be asking if the goal is to promote best functioning regardless of whether medical or educational disability standards are met... ADHD was one of the referral questions. DD’s examiner ruled out ADHD but I’d like to hear the neurologist’s thoughts.
