[QUOTE="Martie, post: 97190, member: 284"] ADHD is a diagnosis of exclusion and MANY other conditions share the same symptoms. It is important to look at the whole picture: a manic child has all the symptoms of ADHD; however, ADHD (only) children do not cycle quickly and have clear mood problems that are not usually present with "simple" ADHD. All of this is complicated by the concomitance of disorders: it is possible for a child to have ADHD and unipolar depression, which although a mood disorder, looks different that BiPolar (BP) in most kids over 10. An IEP should be responding to NEEDS not labels anyway so while I get that the diagnosis makes a huge difference in medications, it shouldn't make a difference in the IEP. Martie [/QUOTE]
