[QUOTE="buddy, post: 479736, member: 12886"] woo hooo....another MN family! My son does not have adhd diagnosis, but his other diagnosis have those symptoms and the medications for him do help, There is no hard and fast rule. adhd symtoms can come from organic brain issues, esp. frontal lobe and if that is what is causing it for your kiddo then medications very might well be part of the program for him. As far as school, yes that can get you 504 accomodations, but if he is struggling in ANY way, even socially, then it would be better to have an evaluation for an IEP. Then you have legal rights and and they must follow thru with the accomodations. Both of my sisters have kids on 504 plans, school was enthusiastic, but are they following the accomodations??? not really and if they dont, there is nothing short of taking them to court for a civil rights suit which is obviously very expensive. It is just hard to them to do when there are not the regimented rules and procedures that come with an IEP. To start that process, you need to write a letter to the school and cc one to the district office of special education, send it registered/certified mail and formally request an evaluation for special educaiton services. Luckily you live in MN and have PACER to use as a resource. ( [URL="http://www.pacer.org"]www.pacer.org[/URL] ) gotta go to a meeting, so I will check in soon, feel free to pm me. ta for now, Dee (buddy) [/QUOTE]
