[Senco-forum] ADHD medication problem

[Gdmorewood at supanet.com]

Indeed, the issue here must be finding a way of getting the young person
Their meds without a 'public display' adding to whole school perceptions
of behaviour etc..

Often students with ADHD get 'bad press' due to perceptions linked to
their disability, as SENCo I see managing these 'views' as part of the job
... Although difficult at times!!

The solution must centre around finding a wa to do this without everyone
knowing the method ... Good luck, Gareth, Secondary SENCo & Member of
Advisory Group.... (apologies for typing on train!!!)
