Schools play a vital role in ADHD assessments because teachers often observe children in a structured setting and can provide crucial information about their behavior and learning patterns. This information is essential for a comprehensive ADHD diagnosis, as the condition is defined by symptoms impacting multiple settings. Additionally, schools can be early identifiers of potential ADHD, prompting timely referrals for assessment and support.
Here’s why school involvement is important:
Multiple Settings Requirement:
ADHD diagnosis requires symptoms to be present in more than one setting (e.g., school and home). Teachers’ observations provide valuable insights into how a child functions in the classroom, which is a distinct environment from home.
Early Identification:
Teachers are often the first to notice potential ADHD symptoms in children. Their observations of a child’s focus, attention span, impulsivity, and behavior in the classroom can lead to early identification and intervention.
Comprehensive Assessment:
Schools can provide detailed information about a child’s learning style, speed of working, and how ADHD symptoms impact their academic progress. This information is crucial for a thorough assessment by healthcare professionals.
Targeted Support:
Once diagnosed, schools play a crucial role in implementing strategies and support systems to help children with ADHD succeed in their education. This might include adjustments to the learning environment, individualized education plans, or other interventions.
In summary, school involvement in ADHD assessments ensures a more accurate and comprehensive diagnosis, leading to appropriate support and interventions for children with ADHD.

The Benefits of Magnesium for ADHD Support

Daily magnesium supplementation can make a noticeable difference for individuals with ADHD, particularly for women. Here’s how:

1. Supports Dopamine Regulation
Magnesium plays a key role in the production of dopamine—a neurotransmitter often imbalanced in individuals with ADHD. Improved dopamine function can enhance focus, motivation, and emotional regulation.

2. Encourages Restorative Sleep
Sleep challenges are common among neurodivergent individuals, especially those with inattentive ADHD. Magnesium Glycinate supports relaxation by activating GABA receptors, promoting better sleep quality without causing grogginess.

3. Reduces Anxiety and Irritability
Magnesium can help lower cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. This can ease physical symptoms of anxiety, helping to manage sensory overload and emotional reactivity.

4. Enhances Executive Function and Mental Clarity
By supporting neurotransmitter balance and brain energy metabolism, magnesium may help improve working memory and reduce brain fog—two areas commonly affected by ADHD.

5. Gentle and Highly Absorbable
Magnesium Glycinate is well-tolerated and highly bioavailable, making it suitable for long-term use, especially for those sensitive to stronger supplements.
