[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 654754, member: 18958"] Confused, you can insist on an IEP and Special Education Status and I strongly recommend you do so. Please do not let the school district decide for you. They will choose 504 because it puts less responsibilities on them and gives them freer rein to suspend or expel your child due to behavior if it comes to that and if they want. (I know this from my work, too.) Of 504 and Special Education (IEP) the latter is the stronger position for both parent and child.. The IEP puts more responsibilities on the school and school district, and most important, gives them less opportunity to punish the child for behavior related to the child's limiting disability, that is, the reason they are covered by Special Education. Because your child has a diagnosis (ADHD) with inherent behavioral problems, it would be risky if he were not Special Education with an IEP, in my view. My adult child had an IEP for almost all of his 12 years in public school. I felt it stigmatized him at first but came to see it is a blessing...he got services he needed, as well as protections. By the way, you seem calm and strong given what is going on. Take care. [/QUOTE]
