Hi,
My son wants to go ROTC AF and he is currently a Junior in HS. He has not had an official diagnosis of ADHD as we did not complete all of the testing, but a neurologist did a trial of Focalin to see if it helped which it did. So he has been on Focalin for less than 24 months, and is now attempting neurofeedback to decrease the need of medicine. He has not had any school IEP's or plans, and has not had any accomodations given for testing or classes.
My question is this: when you need to get documentation of the total cumulative months of medicine use, what would constitute proof? Would it be the total # of months a prescription was issued, or # of months the prescription was filled, or just counting the months it was used?
My son only used meds for actual school work, and not for weekends or summers. So I am just wondering what is the way to figure out, with documentation, what the DODMERB would use to count the months of use.
Thanks,
