[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the severity. [b]Dr. Horn, the FCPs AAP program coordinator, has stated that "AAP and IEP don't mix" in a session on twice exceptional children at a FCPS-organized conference on special needs.[/b] That should tell you something about the attitudes.

She will have to take a battery of tests, both IQ and academics. If she focuses enough to do well, and if she has good teacher recommendations, than she might make it in. I would not volunteer the information if I were you, during the screening process.

Problem is, the program is actually well designed to hold the interest of kids with ADHD, but the admission process typically screens them out. Few ADHD kids can sit through the test, with their focus unbroken, for hours on end. Those kids who make it, do so usually because of a teacher who saw through their fog and cared enough to recommend them. And their ADHD was not complicated enough to interfere with either testing, or to require accommodations.

Think this through -- you probably have a deadline to re-enroll at your school, but make sure she can get in first.

That's a discrimination law suit ready to happen. Disgusting attitude.[/quote]
