 It is not the school that she is having a problem with...it is the fact
 that she doesn't have any insurance for her daughter so the doctors have
 decided that she will not be put on any medication...but until they found
 out that she was not insured, they had suggested medication..Amanda (my
 granddaughter) is very hyper..and she talks 25 hours of every day...:)
 The school has her in a special class and gives her the extra attention
 that she requires, at least so far..she is only in kindergarden..but by
 the fact that the doctors have decided she does not need medication, the
 school is not sure how severe her ADD is...but I will tell her to contact
 the State Ed. Department...thank you...
