[QUOTE="Rannveig, post: 667673, member: 5689"] Hi, Tarheel. What's is your son's IEP for? Does it cover all you think it should? It can be difficult for us not to project our own kids' diagnoses on other people's kids, so thank you in advance for your patience with the following. In my case, I have a son with a form of ADHD that seems to involve -- among other things -- running out of steam on tasks. So if he did well on the first page of something but not the second page, I'd conclude it was the ADHD -- that he just couldn't remain focused long enough to complete the assessment successfully. It's because of this sort of problem that I am going to be asking his school for untimed tests and fewer assigned problems when assessing his mastery of a topic. I will also have to look at the possibility of a stimulant for him. Maybe your son has a cognitive issue similar to my son's. Or maybe not. Regardless, I can say I sympathize with your frustration. I'll be interested to see how the more experienced members here answer your post. Best wishes to you and your son! [/QUOTE]
