[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 666861, member: 11791"] If you are in the US, you need to be fighting for an IEP, not a 504. Only IEPs have "teeth". ADHD minus the "H" = what used to be referred to as ADD. It is often missed, because the hyperactive kids are more noticeable (as in, more disruptive to the classroom). A neurotypical evaluation is thorough, but there are areas that they do not specialize in. Is there a discrepancy between how he does in the classroom, and how he does when they work with him one-on-one in a quiet room? There was a huge gap here with my kid, and the problem wasn't entirely ADD. The next piece of the puzzle was Auditory Processing Disorder, in particular problems with auditory figure ground: his hearing was normal, but in the context of background noice, he heard [I]everything equally[/I] and had a hard time figuring out where to put his focus. There are specific interventions for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), but it usually requires the involvement of a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and usually advanced (post-doctoral) auditory specialists.
