[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again - is your child medicated? If yes, has the dose been adjusted? If no, you'd better get on that pronto. Accommodations and services are supposed to be used in addition to meds, for moderate to severe cases of ADHD with accompanying LDs.[/quote]

That's crazy. The goals and services in an IEP are based on what a child needs now. Whether meds are appropriate is a decision for the parents, in consultation with a doctor. An IEP cannot require meds, regardless of diagnosis.[/quote]

That's not at all what I meant, PP. I mean that in cases of moderate to severe ADHD with LDs, expecting the IEP to make all problems magically go away is unrealistic. The school is not supposed to ask about medical treatment, so it is not a subject for discussion at the meeting, and not a reason to add or subtract services. But OP needs to know that meds will greatly increase her child's functioning, and therefore her child will be better able to access the services/accommodations given by the school.
