[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 270735, member: 6705"] I would definitely suggest you look into the IEP. difficult child 2 has been diagnosed with ADHD, but we suspect that's not it, the Concerta just made him horrible to live with. However we are taking him to see a neuropsychologist in June. Anyway, he has an IEP. Originally it was started for speech only, before the ADHD diagnosis, but husband and I have been able to work in a lot of other things due to the ADHD diagnosis. It's not perfect, but it's working for now. I know some other children in our district have IEPs for ADHD. I believe it is classified as a disability, therefore falls under IDEA/FAPE. (Pretty sure on this... difficult child 2 also has dyslexia and that does, too, but that was diagnosis'd after the ADHD.) difficult child 1 has some behavioral issues and we're not sure how much of it is related to her biomom and how much is due to disability - sneaking suspicion she is borderline - and husband is working on her IEP right now. She's never had one. Both difficult children are quite bright, they just have issues. And if they are educated with an IEP, they have a chance to become productive citizens. I would push for an IEP as hard as you can. [/QUOTE]
