What medical qualifications does the tutor have to support her assertion
that meds for learning disabilities are not appropriate?

And more importantly - who is giving what medication for "LD's"? I haven't
heard of this.

She contends that her program is a fix for LDs, including AD/HD (which
is
technically not an LD),

Exactly - ADD/ADHD is not a LD. They are commonly associated but separate
issues. No one with half a clue would make that mistake.

However, for special education purposes, it can be classified as "Other
health Impaired" (from the Bush I administration memo) and special services
provided. My son has no specific LD, but his ADHD was making nornal
schooling impossible for him. Under OHI, he recevied some services which
allowed him to suceed.
