My daughter was first diagnosed with ADD, by a licensed psychologist, at the end of her 6th grade year, after struggling in her 6th grade year with organization and being easily distracted. When I approached her school counselor, she stated that I could not enroll her in a 504 unless it "substantially limited" her learning. She kept reinterating that. I finally came out an stated that basically she has to be failing to get help, and the counselor stated "we don't like to say it like that, but yes". That upset me greatly. I am very much proactive in everything I do, I want to be ahead of the game before problems start. She made A's and B's her first quarter, but that was with a lot of effort on my and two of her teachers parts. Luckily, she has great teachers this year, but I am concerned about future years. I am not sure where to start, or if I should wait to she how she does the rest of this year.
