ok today was follow up with ped.
Ped wants to say ADHD, but since all the problems are only at school, technically she cannot. Then she offered us medications, which stunned and saddened me. She knew I wasn't going to like that because she did say she could refer us to a psych in the group that works with kids with LDs. Of course I said yes. I'm very upset about the whole thing...I would like a full assessment of my child and consideration of her ABILITIES made before I sign her up for a lifetime of medication, right?
She did point out that if it is ADHD and we don't address it, Butter will never be able to live up to that potential.
I guess I'm not convinced and I'm not willing to just make my kid a guinea pig. It's not like they just do a blood test for neurotransmitters...
On the UPSIDE, DD8 got that seperate desk that faces front that we have BOTH been wanting for a long time. Her current teacher will be staying at the school this year. We have an SST next week too, after the psych from Hoagie's
