[quote=Anonymous]It is common for children with developmental delays who had services during Early Stages to close the gap and no longer need an IEP once they start school.

It sounds like the school did full testing to determine re-eligibility. This should have been:
A meeting called an AED (Analysis of Existing Data) to determine what testing was needed.
Agreement coming out of the AED what testing was going to be done.
The school conducting the testing and providing you the reports.

I assume you are at this stage and the next step is the eligibility (Re-evaluation meeting)

What I would do now is ask for a meeting with the psychologist to go over the report.  They will talk in technical language so for any part you do not fully understand, ask them to repeat themselves.  I record these meetings because I can not process all of the information and I forget things. 
Collect work samples
Any emails you have from the teacher regarding behavior etc.
Just an FYI - ADHD typically gets accommodations and not an IEP in DCPS.  
I have also had success in writing a letter of parent concerns and sending it to the psychologist doing the evaluation.  What are your observations where the disability is impacting education?  Not MAY impact future - but impacts current?   [/quote]
