[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. PP, how do you know exactly my child's issues are? His disability is severe enough that he can not function in a classroom without support. When he was 3, 4, and 5 years old he was counseled out of three preschools. He was outright rejected by one. Even with medication this school has now has determined he needs an IEP with an aide (for about two hours a day).

I absolutely resent that you said "for only having ADHD (which warrants a 504 plan)." We went the 504 route last year and he still struggled in social studies and science.

Btw, my child not only has ADHD but also has sensory integration challenges. There is no psychiatric diagnosis for SPD but the symptoms are there and affect his daily life and learning.

I'm sorry if your school does not help children like my child but that doesn't mean my child shouldn't receive this help. It means your school should provide it for yours.

I don't want to get into a philosophical debate. I just want to find out how to prove to the IEP team that he needs additional help for science and social studies. Pull out services may NOT be ideal for him, I admit that. But there must be something they can do, right? [/quote]

I went with your original post, which said that your child has ADHD. Typically for ADHD/ADD there are accommodations and a 504 plan, not an IEP. I'm unclear why you're interpreting that as a dig on you personally.

You did not mention there were other things going on. And I did not mention anything about my children or their school.

Of course there are things that can be done. What kind of accommodations does he have in the classroom right now? What are his goals on his IEP? Are their strategies that he is being taught in school? Any clues as to why he's doing fine in math and language arts but not in social studies or science? [/quote]
