[QUOTE="Rannveig, post: 704645, member: 5689"] I read the post below asking for IEP help, and it was useful, but my situation is slightly different and I wanted to run it by you all. As I reported last year, my difficult child got a 504 plan based on a private neuropsychologist exam that diagnosis'd him with ADHD-not otherwise specified. His teachers have been fairly cooperative with accommodations, but it hasn't been enough. We just haven't been seeing any progress with task initiation and completion; spent over $1k on a private ADHD coach and haven't seen any results. Finally the school said hey, why don't we do a child study? Yay! So they did it, and we met, and they decided he qualified for an IEP not for ADHD but for ED (he is depressed, and that is part of the reason he never gets his work done). I don't give a hoot about the stigma and am just thrilled they qualified him. But now they're asking me what services he should get. And darned if I know! Can I ask for CBT provided by the school system? Daily assistance with staying on task? Exemption from all homework? (He does well on standardized tests and has a high IQ; participates well in class, has friends, is liked by most teachers...so really his life would be a thousand times better if only he didn't have to do homework. Not that I don't see the value of homework, but it just makes him, and thus our family, crazy.) I'd love to hear others' experiences, ideas, solutions! Thanks so much, Ranny [/QUOTE]
