[quote=Anonymous]OP. we are in DCPS (mainstream NW elementary school, not charter). if your child has problem and the school is offering to consider an IEP, definitely take it. my child is in 2nd grade, and the IEP was implemented at the end of 1st grade. we requested it at teh beginning of the year, the request was denied, got a 504 plan, but the school reconsidered at the end of first grade and put the IEP in place. no stigma in our opinion, just a lot of support where our child' weaknesses are. she is very bright and advanced in some aspects, but with ADHD and other issues that were making her life difficult. K was a difficult year and it started affecting her behavior. we wished the IEP was done at the beginning of 1st grade instead of at the end. she is doing great now and the extra help she is getting (a lot of one on one work and support from the school's counselor) is really making a difference. her self estime has improved and so her behavior. the team at our school has been very good and we are happy.
