I think my grandson's (7) school are trying to get kids diagnosed with adhd so they can get money from the state. I read something or watched something a long while ago about schools doing this. How do I go about researching this? How would I find out if his school gets extra funding? Where do I look? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Worst case some MD follows up on a diagnosis done by non-medically trained people and prescribes medications

The trap is exactly as described. I got on the kiddy meth after sessions with a psychologist who referred to an associated MD for a script. The reason I got referred to a psychologist was that the counselor, principal and teacher were playing hot potato because that I often got up and walked around class after I finished work while White. Which was determined to be disruptive. Looking back, I was just diagnosed with being a normal boy with not enough recess.

It's important to have a good MD doing the diagnosis. There aren't many who are good with behavior in kids.
