Article: [senco-forum] ADD

What would you do if a child in your school was diagnosed with ADD, was
being given Concerta, having nightmares and loss of appetite, and the child
had not shown ADD symptoms in school prior to the diagnosis? Would your
answer be the same if the child was a very bright dyslexic? Would it make
any difference to your advice if the child's standard scores in word
recognition, spelling and comprehension had not improved after a year on the
drug?

With thanks,

Mary
