[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485112, member: 12886"] In advance, I am going to apologize, I should go thru your posts to see if you have already addressed this so I am just going to go for it...smile Have you had him evaluated specifically for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)? Kids on the spectrum typically show wide ranges on IQ testing... especially can show strengths in "verbal" skills (like reading). The pattern, rather than the exact numbers is what is looked at. It is only one piece, and certainly other disability areas can reveal wide ranging scores, but given his other issues....just asking. I know we have said it here many times, and there are many examples on this board...of kids who are diagnosis adhd, odd, anxiety, etc... and in the end the unbrella diagnosis is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In any event, it is wonderful news that he will be on an IEP and if the accomodations are individual enough it wont matter as much what the category is...as time goes on if you feel there is more to it though, you might want to check further just to make sure because accomodations for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) come faster when people are already in that mode of thinking for a child. ADHD is covered under OHI.... it is a catch all category for medical conditions that are not covered under any of the specific educational categories. (that is what Q's ABI is under... since Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the only educaitonal category for brain injury...sigh). Will be so excited to hear what supports and teaching they are going to offer. Congrats again! You did it!!! [/QUOTE]
