Survey: Effect of Meds on need for SE | ADHD Information

My youngest no longer needs some of her accomodations (less written work, use of voice to text software, untimed math tests, teacher checking daily homework list).Has anyone had a child in special education, mainstream classroom, showered with services (part time aide, resources room, OT, behavior plan, the whole deal)-- then started meds, and experienced a significant reduction in the need for SE services or even the need for SE qualification? Quite the opposite here in fact, I'm taking my daughter to an outside OT and not getting the help in school that she needs. I'm not raising much of an issue since she's in Kindergarten and the school year is nearing the end (June 15th here).

Next year however I'll bend over backwards and fight tooth and nail to get those services and accommodations for her. I did our part.. she's been diagnosed, on meds.. found the right med, going to OT and helping out all that I can at home, but the school doesn't want to do their part.

However, I have a Step SIL that is fighting the school for help before she gives her son meds.. and every time they try to tell her he's doing poorly, she brings up the fact that THEY need to be helping him more and offering the services.. and as soon as she does they start saying how much better he's getting and the bad reports and grades go up high enough to not qualify.

Revised to Add... I'm sorry I think I mis-read your post. My daughter's on meds and still needs help, but she has more than just ADHD to contend with too.
ShawnB39217.5610185185My child wasn't SE, but he needed a batch of classroom accommodations due to hyperactivity and impulsivity (lining up separate from the line, empty seats around him, sitting behind the group when the kids sat on the rug in kindergarten).  Once he started meds, he no longer needed any of these things.  Suddenly he was able to stay within his own space and not move around so much.  It sounds minor, but it was a big deal that he no longer was pushing folks, knocking over their things, banging them with his backpack, nudging them when sitting near people, etc.
