Article in the Times Ed suggested that 1% of children in the UK are on Ritalin/Ads

I'm just interestedas to your experience of this. I teach in MS and we have very, very few children on Ritalin (or comprable compounds) I would say our rate is more like 5-6 out of 1300.

Are we just out of line with the rest of the UK ?(and we have about 18-19% on the SEN reg, many for ADHD)

What is your experience?

I would say that in my dd's school around 20 children out of 500 are on it. Dd being one of them.
