[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 485126"] Sounds awesome. I am glad you will be able to look it over before the meeting. I, personally, would let them categorize him under OHI. My reasoning is if they go under EBD, they will focus too much on the behaviors and not as much emphasis teaching him the lacking skills. At least that what happens here. As for the typing, I would ask for them to use a voice-recognition software for him. Typing is actually slower and more tedious than writing for kids with ADHD. difficult child 1 has such a hard time even typing because his hands, period, don't go as fast as his brain. The program we (and the school) use is called Dragon Naturally Speaking. It types everything difficult child 1 says. There are some minor glitches where certain words aren't in the program's dictionary but they can be added. It has helped difficult child 1 tremendously. He knows what he wants to write but can't seem to put it into writing AND not as fast as his brain goes. There's an idea to include in the IEP. [/QUOTE]
