[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 309202, member: 7916"] Hi, I hope you are still checking this thread...Yes, I do think your difficult child's diagnosis's should qualify him for an IEP. You might have to fight with the school district a bit, but do some reading, educate yourself, and go in with confidence. I would guess that with a mood disorder diagnosis, you son should qualify for an IEP under the "Other Health Impairment" (OHI) category. Most SDs do not like to give IEPs for ADHD (because that would be just too many kids, according to our school psychiatric). Your son is entitled to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment. To that end, it seems appropriate to advocate for a one-on-one aide for your son (my difficult child has one and we LOVE her) to help him succeed in a mainstream classroom. There is a book from Nolo Press that is a good for preparing for dealing with the school: "Nolo's IEP Guide." I think it is available from Amazon. Good luck and let us know how your meeting goes.
