[quote=Anonymous]Hi Everyone

My child is in the 1st grade and we just had a meeting with his teacher and his IEP coordinator/Aid that is with him in the classroom.  My son has had an IEP starting in late kindergarten, around May.  He was approved for 10 hours a week for someone to be in the classroom with him.  Well they want to increase it to 20 hours a week. He receives other services as well, some outside of the school and some inside.  We had had him evaluated and he is on medication for ADD/ADHD.  So basically he will have someone with him all the time in the classroom.  Is this normal for a child that was diagnosis with just ADHD/ADD?  He does go to OT every week and he is in a social skills group.  The school evaluation came to the conclusion that he might be on the ASD scale and also his private evaluation thought so as well.  However they both thought he was on the spectrum.

I am all new to this so any insights would be appreciated.  We are in the process of having another evaluation at Kennedy.  It just seems a lot of services for someone with just ADHD/ADD

Thanks[/quote]
