[quote=Anonymous]We’ll be moving back to D.C. after many years abroad. Our child, who has moderate ADHD, will be entering 3rd grade at a local NW DCPS. He has spent the last two years at an international school with small class sizes and has had a dedicated assistant (who used to be more involved; he will have “graduated” from having an assistant by the end of this year). His ADHD diagnosis was from a foreign psychiatrist, and he takes 7.5mg of Ritalin before school. Apart from his reading/phonics being behind, he is on grade level in all other areas, at least according to the British metrics the school applies. Anyway, point being, can anyone advise what kinds of things I need to be doing when we get back to D.C.? Perhaps he should get evaluated by a U.S. neuropsychologist so he has appropriate/accepted documentation? And should I off the bat pursue an IEP? Would appreciate any advice, if you have any! Many thanks.[/quote]
