After discussions with my DH last night, we are not going to fill the Ritalin prescription just yet.
He goes to a Catholic Primary School. Your suggestion of school psychologist is perfect as I think the school does have one and as we have the diagnosis of ADHD, they would be more than willing to refer us to them.
His main problem is distraction and not being able to sit still. He was a little behind for the first couple of terms last year, we just worked a lot harder with him and made some headway towards last term with help from his teacher.
My husband is extremely wary of Ritalin and feels it should be an absolute last resort. We are going to try Fidgets and perhaps the sensory cushion as well.
I will PM you as well, as we would definitely consider a private psychologist if the school could not help in that regards.
