Unless laws are radically different where you live, a teacher cannot prescribe a child any medication. They spout BS all they want, but in the end, medications are prescribed by a doctor, who must have a medical reason to do so.

Again, maybe things are different where you are.

Who said they prescribe it? I didn’t.

Are you saying they don’t know of its existance?

They sure do! They have “school councelors” who can help you.

The practical reality is that kids get referred to psychologists all the time by schools. And the psychologists generally have associated docs who will prescribe for them.

The schools will quit referring to psychologists who don’t recommend meds. That’s how the game gets played.

Did you know schools often get more Federal money for enrolled kids with on meds with an ADD diagnosis?
