[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 7636, member: 23"] Hi Chewsie The info above is sound. I think many of us have trouble being assertive with educators. It went against everything I had been taught from childhood. They were complicating my son's problems so I had to get over it and come to understand that I was an equal in this process. If you want to explore involving an advocate, there's a thread in the Sp Ed Archives that may be helpful. It's good you sent the letter requesting the evaluation via certified mail. At least until the sd evaluation process is completed, he is under the IDEA/IEP reg "Protections for Children Not Yet Eligible for Special Education." You can begin to learn about yours and your child's rights in the Getting Started thread in the Archives at [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/getting-started-new-to-all-this.456/[/url] Students with ADHD can qualify for an IEP under the Other Health Impaired (OHI) category. Get a letter from your son's doctor that reflects his ADHD diagnosis. The doctor may already have a form for this. Forward it via Certified Mail to your school district's Special Education department. A "must read" regarding ADHD in my opinion. [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20060916122208/http://www.schwablearning.org/pdfs/2200_7-barktran.pdf?date=11-14-00[/url] IDEA is the federal regs regarding IEPs. All states also have Special Education laws, however, the must closely follow the federal regs. Just so you know, school district "policy" may not conflict with either Fed or State regs.
