Okay… first off, ADHD isnt real its just being young and not caring(doctors love making money off the meds). Second, depression? *** is depression, its not a disability. but for those learning issues id look into an accellerating learning program that eases them into it so they can catch up instead of special treatment.

NOT really an answer to your question as I live in Aus; rather a comment on *houseman’s* reply.
Depression can be very debilitating for any one suffering from it & affects not only the sufferer but those around the person as well
