[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 577803, member: 15799"] Does the principal also know about the sensory processing disorder (SPD)? THAT combined with the ADHD can be enough. Have you put the request for evaluation for Special Education Services in writing and sent it Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested. Your request should list the issues he has that you feel will have a negative impact on his learning. I would not recommend you tell them about the therapies he's already receiving unless they ask during the evaluation process. Their receipt of your request starts a federal timeline for them to get the evaluations completed. If they refuse to evaluate him for ANY reason, ask for them to put the denial in writing with the name and contact number of the person/agency to appeal the decision. It has been many of our experiences here that schools will find reasons NOT to do what needs to be done. Since you seem to have one of those schools, you need to stick to written communication until an evaluation is done. "Just ADHD" won't necessarily get him services. They need to know the SKILLS he doesn't have or the "deficits" he does have. A label doesn't get an IEP. I would skip the principal for now. They don't plan anything until usually May or even during the summer. Take care of this IEP thing first. [/QUOTE]
