Question: I have a daughter who has a diagnosis of depression. She was in bed practically the whole summer. Once she started treatment, around the middle of July, she started getting better. But she is still having a hard time concentrating. A friend of mine is a child advocate, and told me I should get the school involved, and put her on an ed plan. But I’m not sure I even want the school to know. And even if her guidance office knows, I’d rather the teachers not know. I don’t want her to be pigion-holed in any way..
