My son was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD at 6 after having received extensive county services from Infants and Toddlers for his developmental delays. His public school gave him an IEP under the OHI category (Other Health Impairment).

It's good that the school wants to change the code and not forego the IEP! Some schools illegally try to argue that because the child is not failing they do not need an IEP. Other schools do not understand that they can put ADHD under the OHI category.

Continue to push for this, as valuable classroom accommodations will be put in place every year as a result. The IEP will be modified at each annual meeting if necessary as your child grows and the curriculum presents new challenges for him. My son is given preferential seating in front of the class, the teacher repeats directions to him, in 3rd grade an aide helped him with his writing and he received time and a half on tests, we might ask for a reduced homework load in the future, etc.

OP here.  Thanks for the advice about OHI!  Our school has been really good so far and most of our conversations start with "it's such a joy teaching him, he's so curious and knows about a lot of things.   Here are the areas we need to work on...."[/quote]
