[QUOTE="sosotired, post: 273512, member: 7045"] difficult child is in 5th grade. He was diagnosed ADHD a few years ago and was diagnosed Aspergers earlier this year. He's had a 504 for a few years and at first, the school was very accomodating. He currently gets little more then a 30 minute session with the social worker in group. His behavior as well as his grades have steadily declined over the year. I have attempted to manage this with psychiatrist visits and medication adjustments to no avail. I think it would greatly benefit him to be on an IEP with additional services. Although I have not formally asked, the school has not been helpful, cooperative ... you name it ... in any step of the process so I think it will be quite the battle to get him one. I'd like to get it done before he moves to middle school (7th). He is scheduled for a full evaluation with a nueropsych over the summer. Should I request the IEP now with his grades as an example or should I wait until the beginning of 6th with the evaluation in hand and no current grades to show he's struggling except for the prior year?
