Double uggh for you from me. I think I would wait on the ADD solution, especially if you don't think it is right. Where our children are concerned we are...

Hello, I don't think I have ever seen an actual list of what to ask a potential school but I think the main ones are... Will they do a formal assessmnet? When...
