[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 167895, member: 23"] #1 -- The school district has 60 days from the date they receive your written request and consent to complete the evaluation unless your State regulations regarding special education state differently. Summer days count IF your school district's administration office is open during the summer. #2 -- There is not a diagnosis or combination of dxs that qualifies a student for an IEP. If there is no educational impact, no IEP. In that your child is having academic problems however this shouldn't be a problem. #3 -- ADHD is not a learning disability, so ADHD alone will not qualify a student for an IEP. There are 13 qualifying categories for IEP eligibility. ADHD can qualify a student for an IEP under OHI (Other Health Impaired) because of the impact it can have, e.g., poor grades because of inability to finish work, finish work and not turn it in, AND/OR general behavior, etc. An Learning Disability (LD) is separate from ADHD although a lot of people, including professionals, confuse the two.

It will help you understand the difference between ADHD and Learning Disability (LD) if you need it. [/QUOTE]
