[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a 2e (ADHD) kid here. Without knowing your school system, it's hard to comment, but [i]FCPS generally does a great job with 2e kids in the AAP program[/i], and worked with us to get a good 504 in place. AAP Centers are very used to 2e kids and generally well equipped to deal with them. Also, agree with PP that a medication adjustment is probably in order.  And the best thing we did was hire and ADHD/organizational tutor (we use Educational Connections). It did a great job of pulling parents out of the homework battles. GL'[/quote]

Fairfax does okay as long as the second "E" is mild HFA and mild to moderate ADHD and possibly for mild LDs.  However, for anything else it is a crap shoot.  We have had to fight long and hard for DC's appropriate services and he was a slam dunk wrt to an IEP.  We are in a very good place right now, in HS, but it took years of unrelenting advocacy, education and $$$ (for private intervention, testing and advocates).  We still have sensitive battle scars.
