<p>I agree there’s no requirement to let schools know about whatever ADD issues your child has ahead of time-- but wouldn’t you want to know how they plan to handle those issues-- and wouldn’t you want to know if, given their experience, your child WOULD succeed at that school? I certainly wouldn’t want my child to get admitted to a place where he/she would struggle, just because I kept their history a secret because I was worried the school might be prejudiced against ADD. So many students have that diagnosis at all these schools, it seems unlikely any school these days would not take a kid with ADD-- AS LONG AS they really believed the kid would do well there. I’m not arguing the law here-- I’m just saying it seems best to let the school know what your kid is like, and figure out if they think they’d do well there. I guess I’d say that if you really don’t want to tell them when you apply, at least tell them after they get an acceptance but before you put down a deposit. </p>
