teachers when adhd students exhibit symptoms of adhd because they have adhd
If the kid isn’t diagnosed sometimes it can be helpful . They can’t make accommodation to kids with disabilities if they don’t have an IEP/504.
So if they want to help the kids and there’s nothing in the system that’s how it starts. Documenting calling home. Then working with school admin. Not all teachers believe in meds and they can find ways around a lot of things. But they can’t give more time on an assignment, or do certain disability accommodations if there’s no legal anything.
We seem to be having more adhd/more support requiring people with autism coming into the younger years in high school and I…I feel terrible that these teachers cannot control their own classrooms and can most definitely not help these kids. These children have had jack shit support in both the home and schooling system, so they’re labelled as troublemakers who get sent out of class the minute they start showing symptoms and I. Hate. It. I’m just a student myself, but as someone who is mentally ill, as someone who’s listened to my friends recount struggles with schooling alongside their neurodivergency, I feel way more qualified to help these students than the teachers are. The only thing thats stopping me is I don’t want to undermine the teachers, and I have so much work to do myself. I’m not sure how to have this conversation with my teachers, how to ask them to work closer with the students rather than sending them off to the library, but someone needs to.
