My 3rd difficult child has A.D.H.D and is taking medications for that at home and at school.
My difficult child has an I.E.P because he is Learning Disability (LD) in written expression.
We just had our yearly I.E.P meeting and they have not documented anywhere that he has A.D.H.D. I was told today by the SD that his medications and the distribution of them (see other post on Prescription medications controlled substance in school) should be on the I.E.P
They have given difficult child adaptations for auditory figure ground problems (background noise) which are minimize distractions and extended time to hand in homework.
My difficult child had an Independent evaluation done in 5th grade which showed he was Learning Disability (LD) in written expression and has background noise issues. It was suggested by MY school district audiologist over 1yr ago to do noise desensitization, it was never done. They are ignoring my school districts findings because of the Independent evaluation, I had this done because I knew something was wrong with difficult childs written expression. This year in the I.E.P renewal I asked for the noise desensitization and they said they would get back to me.... here is their email.
Masta,
I will schedule difficult child for noise desensitization therapy. I will see him for 15 min once a week for 6 weeks. After talking to some of his teachers, he appears to be doing well in his classes. We will work on focusing during increasing background noise. Thank you Mr. S.L.P.
My question are:
Does this noise desensitization therapy need written into the I.E.P? Should they test him after it is done to see if he needs any further therapy?
Should it documented that difficult child has A.D.H.D in his IEP?
Should it be documented that he has auditory figure ground problems in his I.E.P?
Thanks,
Masta
