My eldest daughter is 8 now and in Grade 2. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and had this fear that because it is genetic she might have it as well. She had her first assessment at age 4 for school readiness. Everything was awesome, she scored well above average and the only problem they could find that she still struggles to pronounce some letters. The therapist told me not to worry as she is 4 and this should sort itself out. She does not see the need for further therapy. I, being the crazy mother I am, wanted a second opinion on the speech and took her for therapy. After one session I was told she is normal and it is not needed. In her grade R (age 6) year I took her for another school readiness test and again she scored above average. So the point of this story is that I believe in doing these things before it is needed so if there is a potential problem it can be sorted out. My reason behind it is, because so many Dr have told my mother over the years the the problems my siblings and I have should sort it self out and it never did. Both my brothers needed so much help to get through high school because problems not being sorted fast enough. We are advised to take children for a school readiness test in halfway through their Gr R year. I believe that if there is a problem 6 months is not enought o sort it out. these things should be done at least a year before.<br /><br />So to answer your question I know of other people who have had their children tested and came home with an A+ and didn't need any additional therapy.
