[QUOTE="Martie, post: 38232, member: 284"] Sheesh I was on earlier today and you guys managed 13 posts in my absence. There is no such thing as "we don't do IEP's for ADHD." That is not legal: ADHD is a qualifying disability under OHI. I could interpret the Weschler scores but don't need to--your daughter is very bright. Nothing should stand in the way of her high achievement except ADHD, behavior problems (if they appear) and motivation which is a problem with bright difficult child's as they age almost without exception. You cannot get an IEP on what might happen next year. What you need is negative educational impact NOW. Here is what it takes to qualify: A qualifying disability--you have that no matter what they say and NEGATIVE educational impact which should not be measured only in academic performance. Social adjustment and having friends is part of it too. My last piece of advice is to ask THEM for the citation to the portion of the law that says that ADHD is a qualifier ONLY for a 504. This will stop them because there is no such citation. If they fall back on "it's our policy," they may not have policy contrary to law. Best of luck to you--let us know what happnes and don't sign anything. Take it home to think about it. Martie [/QUOTE]
