I agree with you JXM, this past school year my husband and I were in conflict with the school over this very issue. The were not at all happy when we refused to have our son tested. I refused because no matter what their testing showed.....or for that matter didn't show. It would be in his permanent school records. Knowing my child as I do, and with my college back round being in education, I felt they were out of line. I basically told them so. It was a rough year from that point on. But I believe as parents we acted in the best interest of our child. Jane

Of course you are correct jorj if the parents are aware of alternate treatments. In most instances, however, this is not the case and the parents will defer to the expertise of their doctor who tells them that drug therapy is the only treatment option for their child's behavior. And in many cases it is the only treatment option available for those unable to spare the money and time seeking out more holistic forms of treatment such as dietary modification and/or behavioral counselling. Perhaps if the government made it more difficult for the medical profession to write such prescriptions, doctors might be forced to alter their course of treatment. But then pigs might fly! gregg
