I would go to the school counselor, and ask for assistance, this is what they get paid for! We did however have a teacher that simply didnt understand her condition and had to have many conferences to get this cleared...
Keep you chin up, you ARE doing the right thing.... sometimes it takes different meds for them to cope with. She is 16 now and has been weaned off the meds, we treat it with behavior only now and it works!
Good Luck, if you would like to chat, I will be happy to help you any way I can!

There is actually no separation... It is all referred to as ADHD with the emphasis on lack of concentration or on hyperactivity.
I know people that have children with concentration issues do not like being lumped into the ADHD diagnosis but its just diagnosing term
I am so glad your daughter is doing well now
