Larry,
I have experience having taught school age children for years in religious ed.
Also there is the training I receive from my agency. I'm also a grad student working toward an MA in Counseling Psychology.
I've been working in my current setting for over a year now and I've observed many children who have received treatment with adderal, ritalin, and cylert. I notice that usually children are able to focus better while on their medication. Like I said, I'm not a doctor, nor am I studying to be a doctor. I think I stressed that in my post. I can only comment on the behavior of the children I work with. I work in the milieu and I do behavior modification.
I am definitely qualified according to the laws of the State of California.
Not sure what you are looking for in all of that.
Blessings,
Simcha
