<p>My daughter does not have ADHD, but we have dealt with disability services. A year ago she had a major back surgery (double spinal fusion, 5 hour operation 5 days in the hospital). Our plan was for her to return to school only 4 weeks after the surgery. We were asking for priority registration (so she could make room in her schedule for doctor appointments and physical therapy and not have to sit for too long). We thought it would be very easy, bring in the doctor’s note and they would grant it. It was very, very, very difficult. In hindsight, I guess they see a lot of people who cheat the system so it ends up being very difficult for those that really need it. In the end she got it and has now recovered beautifully. But it was definitely an eye-opener to us.</p>
