[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS will likely provide an IEP to formalize accommodations. Hard working cohort is not gonna be a guarantee. There are many hardworking kids in honors and AP classes..but also coasters.[/quote] No, MCPS will not provide an IEP to "formalize accommodations". IEP eligibility requires 1) disorder 2) adverse impact on education and 3) need for special instruction. A kid with dysgraphia needs special instruction in all the various aspects of handwriting. A kid with dyslexia should get special reading instruction in a dyslexia appropriate style. A kid with ADHD should get more than extra time, they should get special instruction in managing calendar, workflow, monitoring deadlines, breaking big tasks into subparts, etc. A kid who has 1) and 2) but not 3) should be offered a 504 plan because they have far in excess met the 504 requirements.
