[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 95011, member: 23"] lol No, we're not stumped. You're school district is non-compliant and you're going to have to either force the their hand or wait them out. Just to make clear, a diagnosis of any type does not automatically qualify a student for an IEP or 504. Regarding medication, if a medication such a stimulant controls symptoms, it's no different than blood pressure medicine doing it's job. HOWEVER, it is the very rare case where an ADHD medication controls all symptoms. Even with-a medication that works, one day the student does well, one day s/he doesn't. The medication may help a student focus, may curtail hyperactivity, but there's much more to ADHD than that. PS: See my signature for diagnosis info. difficult child's 1st diagnosis was also ADHD.
