[quote=Anonymous]We have a rising 8th grader who tests as slightly 2e. He has moderate inattentive ADHD (definitely not mild!). His most recent psycho-educational evaluation did not give him a dyslexia/dysgraphia/dyscalculia diagnosis but he has a history of receiving those diagnoses previously. GAI of 120 but lower FSIQ (brought down by low working memory and slow processing speed). He is highly intellectual, STEM/robotics/engineering specialist, wonderful artist and gifted musician, and is VERY inattentive in class. Highly emotionally intelligent, empathetic, and manipulative. He hates school and claims it is 'prison'. Still, he gets decent grades so far because he hates disappointing his teachers.

He has been in a small Catholic K-8 but we are looking at MCPS high schools. Any thoughts on what we should consider? Should we try to get an IEP for him? Should we try to get him to apply into one of the special MCPS programs? He would be interested in the art program at Einstein, the aviation program at Magruder, any STEM program, or the ACES program at Walter Johnson (likely home school). [/quote]
