[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - we had neuropsych testing done privately two years ago which resulted in an ASD and ADHD diagnosis. DC has struggled with anxiety and depression, over the past few years, and we have diagnosis paperwork from an intensive outpatient program from this past Fall. As part of that paperwork, the psychiatrist also confirmed the ASD and ADHD diagnoses but he isn't a neuropsych tester. I appreciate the advice. It is sad that people need to hire advocates in order to get services - I bet now more than ever MCPS is inundated with IEP applications. [/quote]

It sounds like you have the documentation of the disability, also make sure that you can show what areas your child needs specialized instruction. For example, does your child struggle to make inferences while reading? Is your child not able to work with peers without guidance? Does your child need specialized math instruction due to not being able to break problems down? Basically, you should be able to show how the disability impacts your child's education.

In general, an ASD and ADHD diagnosis shouldn't be too hard to get through screening unless your child is earning all A's or something. I don't think you will need an advocate.[/quote]
