[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Thanks all. Yes, I am sure it was full neuropsyc in 4th grade. We paid about $5k. It was not really intuitive to repeat the test to support the request for 504. The fact that she is on medication managed by a licensed psychiatrist demonstrates that she has ADHD.

You all convinced me that she needs to be tested again. We will do that, but testing is expensive!

You shouldn’t need to repeat the test - as my child’s doctor has said - ADHD isn’t a thing that goes away so a test from earlier should still stand. I would recommend hiring an education consultant to help you advocate.[/quote]

The issue in question is not whether the student has ADHD.  It whether it currently requires accommodation.  The child has been on medication, has presumably learned study skills, executive function, time management and test telling strategies.  If not that could be what is needed.  A 504 is about determining whether the students impairment requires something different by the teacher/school in order for the student to be able to fairly access the educational environment.[/quote]
