[quote=Anonymous]My DS has ASD, ADHD combined, disorder of written expression, verbal and perceptual reasoning scores in the 99.9% and working memory (96%) and processing speed (88%).   Also at a D.C. Charter and currently gets 12 hrs a wk Sp Ed hours including pull out OT and social skills.  Most of his Sp Ed hours are for writing, DS gets push in writing support from the Sp Ed teacher in two languages bc he attends an immersion language charter.

DS is coded under "Autism" currently in fourth grade always fully mainstreamed since preK.  We have been very happy with services and supports.  DS was first diagnosed with ASD in prek and got an IEP under "autism".  ADHD, combined, and the disorder of written expression found in 2nd grade and code remained "autism" but services and supports added in IEP for writing and ADHD after they were diagnosed.

Getting whatever supports and services DS needs in the IEP has not been an issue.  DS has many friends and is liked by peers.  Loves school and recess:)

From our experience at our charter, the code under which a child gets an IEP does not matter:  There are only 13 codes for getting an IEP so it is not meant to be a perfect fit whereas the IEP itself should be as close to perfect in meeting individual needs.[/quote]
