[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 318195, member: 805"] Hi Red and welcome. It's a tough question you pose. On one hand, your son is getting the services he needs from school and is doing well - that's the ideal some here never achieve. On the other hand, having an accurate diagnosis can lead to correct medications and interventions, although in this case, the medications and interventions are working. I don't know, the issue would be going to high school next year and making sure he has the services there he needs. Would an accuate diagnosis help get those services? You definately want to start out a new school year right. You (and the team) will write an IEP this year that will follow him to high school. What you will need to decide is whether an accurate diagnosis will in way improve those services. Understanding on the part of school officials is a good thing, but a quality IEP that includes all the services he needs to be successful is a better thing. Welcome to the board! Sharon [/QUOTE]
