Finding a Good School for Child with ADHD
Q: I need to find a good school in St. Louis for my kindergartner. She has ADHD and no one can handle her. I'm so worried. I don't want her labeled as a BD (behavioral disorder) kid.
A: I don't really know anything about school placement procedures in St. Louis. If you want to find out about programs for children with ADHD, however, I would call the toll-free number for Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorders (CHADD) at 1-800-233-4050 to find out if there is a branch in your community. You can get help there from other parents and professionals.
