[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 666914, member: 18958"] I would go to my Pediatrician and request that she or he write a letter. If he also prescribes medication, there is not a leg the School District and stand on. Throughout my son's time in public schools he had an IEP. He was classified ADHD/Other Health Impaired. I do not know if I would want to share the neuropsychologist report with the school. It is for you to advocate for him. I would see how far you can get without it. I really do not trust the schools, but that is me. I do not think the school needs to know he is depressed. I would not want them to push that he is E D. That is what happened in my son's senior year in HS. Beyond my back (I was out of the country) the school called an IEP and changed my son's designation from ADHD/Other Health Impaired to E D, Emotionally Disabled. I agree with Insane. A 504 is not binding. I worked in schools and in mental health with children. I would go for the IEP. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
