[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS (6th grade) has a 504 Plan and an IEP for ADHD (OHI) and he is doing well in the AAP Center school. We provided the psychologist's report (including WISC-IV testing) as parent supplemental information.

My DS did not have to sit through testing "for hours on end" (as described by PP 00:15) and his ADHD is "complicated" and requires accommodations.

I think each child is unique and a blanket "AAP and IEP don't mix" statement is erroneous.

You may wish to read about Twice Exceptional students.  There is one article on the FCPS AAP website and I am sure an internet search would reveal more resources.

I realize this is derailing the thread, but was your son earning poor grades prior to getting his IEP.  My daughter is ADHD also, but the principal says that since she makes A's & B's she won't qualify for a 504 or IEP.[/quote]

My son was not earning poor grades except for those citizenship categories (getting along with others, following directions, etc.) where he scored 2s. We had a private evaluation done (through Children's) and were finally able to get an IEP based on OHI.  The entire process on the IEP side took about 6 months, spanning the latter part of 1st grade and into 2nd grade. [/quote]
