Does AD/HD Mean Special Ed?

That’s a hard question to answer, because Special Ed can mean different things in different school systems. Many parents falsely equate Special Ed with low intelligence and fear that a diagnosis of AD/HD means that their child has a low IQ.

If the school does suggest Special Education for your child, find out why and how they think it would be beneficial. Some kids with AD/HD are lacking basic skill sets that can be remedied with some Special Ed assistance.

Get the facts and make your decision based on that. Don’t let a label interfere with your child’s education.
