Are children with ADHD eligible for disability benefits (SSI)?


Question:


Answers:
Wow, what a question.

Other Answers:
Yes.. one of my neighbors said that her son was on disability for that.
I don't think so, since children aren't supposed to be working. They may be considered disabled and offered extra services at school, but I don't think they would qualify for SSDI (since SSDI is designed to help people who cannot work because they are disabled and children shouldn't be working).
Yes my son was getting ssi for adhd.they will send the child to there doctor and then it goes from there.
No, but children diagnosed with ADHD are eligible for special education needs in school. Ask school administrators for an IEP (Individual Education Plan).

Here is a good source of information about ADD and ADHD: www.chadd.org.

Counseling by a professional may be helpful as well.
