[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 690892, member: 18238"] Actually, I think this is closer to the truth than you realize. The more severe cases need the accommodation but because our society (Within the U.S. anyway) is so hyper focused on everyone being treated not just equally, but EXACTLY the same that those who don't necessarily need the accommodation get it and it becomes the system enabling them. I think what Lil meant about the past is that so many might have been helped by the accommodation but didn't NEED it managed to muddle through and do what was necessary to survived and thrive. I don't think that we've had an outbreak of ADHD amongst our children, I think that we as a society are treating the VERY mild cases where the belt or paddle would be effective in exactly the same manner as the severe cases that need medication and special accommodations. I see this all the time in my job. We get a new program and its the latest and greatest and its just going to fix EVERYTHING! Bull. There is no such thing as that magic pill that will make me drop one hundred pounds while eating ice cream and not working out any more than there is that one program that will fix everybody. We are all individuals and need to be treated as such. That's why counselors have so many different tactics in their bag of tricks in order to help people.
