Following up on question number 3, assume the school conducts a manifestation

determination meeting. Tim attends the meeting with his parents. At the meeting, Tim

tells the team that smoking helps calm his nerves so he can focus in class. He also

presents a note from his family physician stating that some studies have shown that

nicotine can have a temporary, calming effect on students with ADHD (though the

doctor does not recommend that Tim smoke). What should the team do? Does the

smoking have a direct and substantial relationship to Tim’s ADHD? If so, what are the

team’s options? Will Tim be allowed to smoke at school when other students cannot?
