[QUOTE="buddy, post: 502473, member: 12886"] Give them nothing yet..... in my humble opinion. Unless you have a one page diagnosis that says he has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and ADHD. You can make a statement that he was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and ADHD at xyz clinics etc... Telll them you are willing to provide documentation when the assessment plan is signed. Record review is part of the assessment. I would be VERY careful about what you give them. I would not give them anything that could lead them down an emotional and behavioral category if you feel the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/ADHD issues are correct (by the way, adhd symptoms are often part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but if medications help, great... then may actually be adhd too...) Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who are treated through emotional and behavioral methods instead of direct teaching, autism methods can really suffer. The beauty of knowing if it is more Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), is that there are really well known, evidence based methods to teach these kids to help work on the neurological issues. EBD has its own specialized teaching and behavioral modification methods. They are wonderful but different. OF course there is some overlap and some kids can do ok with either, but I would avoid it at all costs. I have witnessed too many problems both professionally and personally. [/QUOTE]
