So, for example, if a child has adhd affecting his ability to pay attention, he could have accommodations for preferential seating. But if his adhd affects his education to the point where he has trouble learning and needs special education, then an IEP is appropriate.

Great explanation - but this is where 2e gets so tricky - some school staff intimate DC just needs to grow up and work harder. Whereas MCPS website totally gets 2e. Very frustrating.
