toomuchtosay-you are very lucky to attend a school that gives such valuable support. I would say most students with ADD are not so lucky.
I also was not a fan of medication. We avoided it for 7 years. But as he got older and the work more time consuming I found that every bit of work was a battle. Homework would last from 3 till 10 and still not be done well. A project that should have taken a few hours an entire weekend. Thus making me a feel like a jailer each weekend.
I also wanted him to feel academic success. And medication has done that for him. He went from the idea that he would never be able to go to college to now talking about AP classes.
I feel meds. along with organizational support have changed my sons academic life for the extreme positive.
Never in my life would I have thought I would sing the praises of such a thing.
