My article is based on my own personal experience as a social worker on the child study team. In addition, it is based on training that I have received from public schools. I could show any parent the tricks of the trade, and how to get what they want and need for their child. I am writing this article because I want disadvantaged people to become advocates for them.

When working with your school district, make sure you get second opinions on your child’s performance and or disability. You may have to pay for such services, however you may save your child from being an academic failure. Just because large words and numbers are thrown in your face, don’t give in immediately.

For example if your child has attention deficit may be all you need to do is get a prescription from the child's pediatrician. There are many medications available. Some popular one are concerta, aderal, and ridlin, the list goes on. It could that a simple pill once or twice a day may cure all of your child's academic issues.

When using this approach, ensure a full month has taken place before assuming the medication is a failure or a cure. Also don't forget to go with your own instinct. Last of all ensure you have exhausted all measures helping your child before signing a document that legally states your child is disabled.
