[quote=Anonymous]And to your question about IEP/504 right away - the neuropsych testing should help you get a sense of what is needed, but since he had a dedicated assistant for the last couple years I would personally be requesting one right away because it takes time. Some kids with ADHD end up only needing a 504 meaning they don't need the curriculum adjusted as much basically but they do need some accommodations to access it (more breaks, longer testing time, things like that). With the phonics piece, depending on if that turns out to be because of a learning disability or not that would also make a difference whether it is IEP or 504. My son started out with an IEP in K and as a part of it he gets support from a special ed teacher that comes in 2 hours a day and supports 3 children including him. But he's doing very well so I anticipate they will ask to lower it to a 504 next year and just have accommodations. Hope this helps, just sharing an example because it can all be very confusing![/quote]
