[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC in upper elementary with HFA & ADHD who tests at above grade level has an IEP. Focuses on social skills and behavior.
Had a 504 prior to receiving the HFA diagnosis (through testing outside of school). IEP has provided more support services in areas which were impacting DC in accessing the regular curriculum.[/quote]

Is there any way that you can be more specific about additional supports and services? I've been denied the IEP twice and this is round 3. The fact that DC is highly gifted and testing above grade level is ALWAYS part of the reason why - that the "specialized instruction" that could be provided would not help because academic remediation is not needed.[/quote]

NP.   DS11 with ASD/ADHD has always been above grade level academically and has had an IEP since preK4 when he was diagnosed with ASD.  Now in middle school.  DS is very bright and is one of the top kids in the country in chess:  This and the fact that he does not need academic remediation has never been an issue in having and keeping an IEP.

DS needs and gets supports for social communication (pragmatic speech with SLP, lunch bunch, met with school counselor who uses Unstuck and Superflex curriculum), OT for his developmental coordination disorder and for his learning disability in written expression - he tests above grade level:  handwriting, learning to type starting in second grade, use of graphic organizers/rubrics and support from the Sp Ed teacher, etc.[/quote]
